OK. Here goes:
Here is a copy of SCSI::Main.$.!Boot.Choices.Linux.Config:
# Linux Boot Configuration file
# *** This file is automatically generated by !LinConfig - do not edit!!! ***
# List kernels at startup
List: off
#
# Partition containing kernels
Root:
ADFS::IdeA.$.Linux.rpc-2/0/30
#
# Partition List
Partitions:
0301 $.Linux.BootDisk
0301 $.Linux.Part1
0301 $.Linux.Swap
0000
0000
0000
0000
0000
The BootDisk partition is a Partition I found under /old/ (I think) on the
ARMLinux ftp-site. The two other partitions are made manually and contains only 0's (that's ascii 0). I have a Powertec SCSI-II card on which HD my BootLoader
software is on, but I don't think that that card is supported (yet?). The two
empty partitions are just test partitions and are only 10MB a piece.
The problem is when I double-click on the !Linux app then the program returns a
"Invalid magic (EA000006) in bmap file - aborting"-error. This is as much detail
