Ok, the problem is with the booting procedure. From the documentation I gather I should reach a menu but after the device probe there is a stuff up and an automatic reboot. Here is more or less what happens (Compaq DX4, 486/50) -------------------------------------------------------------------- booting with Copyright Messages probing devices ... Fatal trap 18: integer divide fault while in kernel mode instruction pointer = 0x8: 0xf01a5235 code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x16 = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, IOPL = 0 current process = 0 (swapper) interrupt mask = panic: integer divide fault syncing disks...done Automatic reboot in 15 seconds ------------------------------------------------------------------ Any ideas? Also what should happen after the successful boot. Where does the floppy root filesystem come into all this "root.flp". It never prompts for this floppy and so I don't know what should happen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
