If you are using a floppy to boot Linux, you may need to specify
|
|
the location of your Linux root partition at boot time. This is
|
|
especially true if you are using the original installation floppy itself,
|
|
and not a custom boot floppy created during installation.
|
|
<P>
|
|
While booting the floppy, hold down <IMG BORDER=0 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="img85.gif"> or <IMG BORDER=0 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="img86.gif">. This should
|
|
present you with a boot menu; press <IMG BORDER=0 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="img87.gif"> to see a list of available
|
|
options. For example, many distributions allow you to type
|
|
<P><TT> boot: <em>linux hd=<IMG BORDER=0 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="img88.gif"></em>
|
|
<P></TT>
|
|
at the boot menu, where <IMG BORDER=0 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="img89.gif"> is the name of the
|
|
Linux root partition, such as <tt>/dev/hda2</tt>. Consult the documentation
|
|
for your distribution for details.
