Hi,
I'm trying to install Linux-Athena on a Compaq Presario 5000.
When I boot from a boot disk(that I made at an Athena terminal)
I get the "Welcome to Red Hat Linux 6.2!" screen with a "boot:"
prompt at the bottom of the screen. If I simply press <enter> I
get the message "Boot failed: please change disks and press a key
to continue". If I first type "NFS install", I get the message
"Could not find kernel image: nfs", and I get another "boot:" prompt.
Basically, the install program does not start up as the instructions
in the SIPB locker seem to say it should. I've actually made three
floppies and get the same result with each one. Any ideas?
thanks,
Ben Haid
