- Subject: [BL] Trouble installing /w one hard drive
- Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2005 22:32:57 -0600
I downloaded (mostly myself off slackware mirrors) the BasicLinux for
Slackware8.1
Since no BOOT was made (for some reason), I type in loadlin zimage
root=/dev/hda1 rw
It loads fine, but I see this message: "Do not touch /dev/hda1"
Sadly, this is my only partition. I have a 81mb (85mb?) hard drive,
which Windows95 is on. It takes up the entire drive.
If I had a CD-rom drive, I'd just my live partition magic CD.
I'd add another hard drive (a 1.2gig HDD i have), but I cannot add
hard drives to this system (when I try, I get a white screen and
beeps). ;-_-
Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
Thanks!
Computer specs:
486 (50mhz)
8mb RAM
85mb hard drive (detected as 81mb by DOS fdisk)
Only has a floppy drive
