| title: | RE Sick of Jensen will pay for good in |
|
I did all of what you said, 20 times over and several
permutations of it. I followed Jim Paradis instructions to
the letter, as well as the instructions on www.alphalinux.org.
I also had about 5 different people so far offer methods that
have worked for them. There is nothing wrong with my hardware.
Ive had NT running on the machine, and all drives, etc. have
been tested under Alpha/Linux on other Alpha boxes. I have
written the boot sector of the disk as instructed including
the aboot/kernel combo at a 2 block offset. I have upgraded to
firmware 1.7. I fail at the point when I try to boot off the
hard drive.
aboot 0/a root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1
This is verbatim what it says on www.alphalinux.org.
Thanks for the help though. I will keep at it as I have been.
/Michael

Hello,
My final plea for help...after almost 3 months of trying to install
Linux on a Jensen, Im at the end of my rope.
I will pay $50 cash to the first person to lead me to the first
RH6.0 installation screen. I need the capability of booting off
the harddrive. You can either arrange to stop by, mail me a
floppy image which will work, or talk me through on the phone.
The howto says youll never get a floppy install to work.
This is probably a 10 minute job but Ive wasted hundreds of
hours of work on it already. The box is slow as molasses...its
the principle of the matter!!!
