Linux FT 1.0
Automatic floppy disk boot.
As soon as Linux is running, you can scroll back with Shift-PageUp and
examine the boot messages for your devices. If your hardware has not been
detected properly, you may reboot with "reboot".
If your hardware is not configured on the default addresses and is not
properly detected by Linux, you may have to provide the I/O addresses
or interrupts in the boot command line. Stop the bootmanager during the
countdown and start Linux by hand using the FLOPPY command. Specify
the hardware parameters as options in the boot command line. If you
have e.g. a Mitsumi FX001D at I/O 300h and interrupt 10, you may boot
with the command "floppy mcd=0x300,10". The list of configurable devices
is contained on the README.TXT file on the CD.
If you want to boot automatically, you may skip the countdown with the
Enter key.
