Larry,
That is as far as I have got. I have tried to figure out exactly what I need
to do in order to get on with the boot process but I am missing something.
When I boot the machine, I see both the line
Booting HD1/1 followed by the periods that are blanked out as it is booted
Then I see it print out
the SYSLIINUX message and the floppyfw message,
that that point I get;
Loading vmlinuz
Loadin initrd.gz
Ready
At this point I start getting the familiar screen of stuff starting
and loading on
most linux installs and it goes well up to the point where is supposed to be
mounting the media. On the floppy it says /dev/fd0, I had changed it
to /dev/hda1
that point is where it fails with the block device error message.
I have now changed it from hda1 to hd1/1 (that is what it is calling the CF card
when it is booting) and I now get in the failed message "no such file
or directory"
so it would appear that if I can just get beyond that point I will be
in good shape.
