New Install Doesn't Boot from HD
Hi,
Just built a new box I'll use as a server at home. On that reboot during
the installation process of Woody, I had to boot from floppy.
I don't think it's a BIOS issue. I had CD, Floppy, HD0 as the boot
order, and even tried HD0, HD1, HD2 and it still wouldn't boot from the
HD. (I have 1 HD as Primary Master and 1 CDRW as Secondary Master and
that's it.) I'm using the Asus A7N8X Mobo.
Perhaps I messed up the partitioning. I did /boot as 16MB at the front
of the drive, a 2GB swap partition next, and then ~120GB as the root
filesystem. I have 1GB RAM, but perhaps a 2GB swap partition is
excessive and that old rule of thumb about swap sizes has outlived its
usefulness?
What should I check?
