potato on 486

[Paul Scott <waterhorse@ultrasw.com>]

Hi,

I have been trying to get Debian installed on a 486 that does not know 
how to boot from the CDROM.  I was able to get to the CD with a Windows 
98 startup diskette and execute boot.bat in the install directory.

I got as far as the "Install Operating System Kernel and Modules"  I 
need to choose the installation medium.  The choices are first and 
second floppies or currently mounted filesystem.  If I choose currently 
mounted filesystem I need to give a directory.  I don't know what that 
is.  It is not /dev/hdc1.  I can execute a shell but I can't seem to 
mount anything which helps.

Are there any tools available to that shell that will help me?

Any other ideas?

TIA,

Paul Scott
