I have it starting to boot, but it gets to a poit where it is trying to load
floppyfw and it fails.I am trying to figure out where I screwed up and
correct it. It also fails where it is calling for /dev/fd0 Since It is now
dev/hda1 I changed that one, but it still fails.
I wish I knew more about this.stuff, it is frustrating.
