Hi,=20
I'm working on a compaq deskpro 4000 (not a good computer). Now i've got
$95 on a HDD and i've installed an other HDD to use Linux on it. When i try
to boot on the RH boot floppy it starts loading but then reboots, and
reboots...
I've had a look at my partitions and discovered a "non-dos" partition where
compaq probably puts its configuring system to load the (95) then. I think
there is some sort of loader in the mbr that uses this partition. Now my
problem is how shall i overpass this to start installing RH and then what
will happen when i will try to setuo LILO.=20
Maybe i can use loadlin ? but then how can i reach the disk where i want to
put RH ?
My config is=20
first disk : one partition "non-dos" 24 Mo probably used by compaq
------------------ primary dos 1200 Mo with 95
------------------ extended dos with files ......
second disk 540 Mo where i want to install RH 5.0=20
I've got the RH5 CDs, the boot and root floppies.
Any idea ?
