Usual proviso, Sindi:  you are way way beyond what I can comprehend, in 
this stuff.

It is a month or so since I used BLxxx; I will go see what I can do.

According to Ranish Partition Manager and MS's fdisk, my first primary 
partition  is a FAT32 of about 775 Mb. (DOS/Windows drive C:)

Now I will save this message from my Win98 email program, restart in DOS, 
and see what's in C:\BASLIN
....

OK, here is what I used from DOS:

loadlin zimage root=/dev/loop0 initrd=initfs.gz rw

After I got to a BL3 prompt, I did   df  , and it showed my C: drive as  /DOS
Midnight Commander saw it fine.

fdisk   /dev/hda   showed the first partition as a Win95 FAT32, if I recall 
correctly.


Thanks,
Sheldon
