- I am stumped. Just got the SLS 0.98p5 off of tsx-11.mit.edu
- rawrote the first two disks, etc. etc.
-
- -Booting off the BootDisk is no problem.
- -RootDisk mounts fine.
- -fdisk works.
- -mkfs makes a file system ( how do you check that by the way? )
- -Packages install fine.
- -dd seems to do its thing.
-
- BUT
-
- When I reboot the loading procedure goes to the point where the partition
- table gets checked, reports it as OK and hangs there.
-
- What gives?
