Re: [aclug-L] redhat 5.1 instl boot disk

[phrostie <phrostie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

forgive the dos fallback but you might try a autoexec.bat like this on
a floppy:

rem echo off
c:
cd\linuc\
c:\linuc\loadlin c:\linuc\turbo\vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3
 

this assumes you have a dos partition. if not you could put every thing on the floppy.

you'll need the linux cd that you installed from.
create a directory to put everything in(linuc).
copy loadlin, and  the kernel to it.

then run the batch or put with it.

good luck

Does anyone have an installation boot disk for RH 5.1?  Mine bit the big
one and my system doesn't boot now.  The BIOS is too old, also, to support
CD boot.  If you do have it, could you please e-mail it to me at
jeffrey.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxx.

Thanks,
