Organization: NeoSoft Communications Services -- (713) 684-5900 Date: Sat, 20 Mar 1993 22:19:29 GMT Message-ID: <C47KoI.9Ko@sugar.neosoft.com> Lines: 18 I'm trying to get back to a working system, reinstalling from scratch. I've installed from Nate's pk0.2.1+ boot images, and that worked (the 0.2 ones didn't), but to do that I had to install a 3.5" floppy in as drive 0. I did that, and it booted fine (yay) though it seemed to think I was working on a color monitor when I booted it off a floppy. I installed, it came up (and recognised my mono monitor this time) and I went to pull in the system. No dice. I get errors when I try to read fd1: fd1: hard error (ST0 41 ST1 4 ST2 0 ST3 0 cyl 0 hd 16 sec 2) Which is pretty odd, since floppies don't usually have 16 heads. Anyone have any ideas? The drive works fine under diagnostics and worked before installing this kernel (I just used it to install pk0.1). -- Peter da Silva. <peter@sugar.neosoft.com>. `-_-' Oletko halannut suttasi tänään?
