Date: 3 Dec 1992 08:14:13 GMT Organization: ~/lib/organization Lines: 26 Message-ID: <1fkfklINNnit@tamsun.tamu.edu> References: <1992Nov23.075612.6322@pool.info.sunyit.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: tamuts.tamu.edu Someone please help! I installed SLS on the following system: 486-50dx2, 16mb RAM, 2 maxtor 213mb harddrives, dos5 and os2 on the first drive, with boot manager installed. I ran 'fdisk /dev/hdb' and set three partitions for linux: 2 60mb partitions (hdb1 and hdb3. hdb2 is a 70mb FAT) and the rest hdb4 (about 12mb). I then mkfs /dev/hdb1 61712, and the same for hdb3, and then ran doinstall /dev/hdb1. When asked if using extend FS instead of minix, answered 'n'. Then I chose 3 to install a, b, c, and x series. During the installations, There were messages saying '/user/*.tar not found'. After I installed all the disks, I put in the bootable floppy, and reboot as told. When booting up, everything seems find until I get to the Softland login prompt: I get the cursor blinking but not responding to any keyboard input!! I can't even reboot with alt-ctrl-del at that point! Can anyone offer some clues as to why this happens? Any suggestions/comments appreciated! Thanx ahead. andy aliaw@stat.tamu.edu
