I am having problems with my install on a thinkpad 755C.  everything 
seems to go well during the Install including loading of all the 
packages etc.  I get asked where i want to put my bootable partition 
and I select hda1 /   root partition.. I've also tried floppy etc.  I 
do have to add one line in the install which is  floppy=thinkpad, but 
i would think my system should still boot.  But it does not boot.  I 
get the LI  and that is it of the lilo prompt, then i hang..  my 
floppy drive light seems to be on, but that shouldn't matter.  Does 
anyone know how i could go about resolving this problem?

Thnx in Advance


Jeff Wilde
