- Welcome to the Slackware Linux (v. 3.5.0) ZipSlack bootdisk!
-
- By default, this disk will boot a Linux system on /dev/sda4. In an otherwise
- IDE based Linux system with a Zip drive connected to a SCSI card or parallel
- port, this is probably the device to use. If you've got a ZipPlus drive,
- you'll have to connect it to a SCSI controller, since the Linux PPA driver
- only supports the original parallel-only Zip drive.
-
- To boot the default device (/dev/sda4) just hit ENTER. To boot other devices,
- you'll have to enter some information on the 'boot:' prompt below. Here are
- two examples of how to boot a SCSI or parallel Zip drive:
- mount root=/dev/sda4 rw
- mount root=/dev/sdb4 rw
-
- These examples work with IDE devices such as DOS partitions on your hard drive,
- or IDE Zip drives:
- mount root=/dev/hda4 rw
- mount root=/dev/hdb4 rw
