Hello,
I'm trying to install ARM-Linux on my A5000 with 4 MB RAM. I'm using the
a5k-kernel version 2.0.31 and the newest RPC-root disk and supplemental disk.
I tried to install with giving the kernel the options
'root=/dev/fd0 ramdisk=0'. By doing this the root floppy gets mounted as
root-disk and now the RedHat installer starts. But because I'm installing
from harddisk the installer asks for the supplemental-disk and then it hangs.
As far as I can see, this method could be used when installing from CD-ROM
or NFS (the ones that don't need the supplemental-disk), but my question is,
is there a way to use a method like this (or maybe something totally
different) to install ARM-Linux on a 4 MB machine?
