- So far, I have the booting disk and rooting disk working. After set up a em
- Partition for Linux and mkfs it, I tried to install the base system. The install
- program first asked for A2 which is am image disk direct ftp from tsx-11.
- I put in the A2 image disk(a dos disk) , the program didnt regonized the disk
- and keeped asking for the A2 disk. Later I put in DISKA2 to the disk as appear
- in every other disk. The program regonize the DISKA2 disk but ignored the A2
- image file and continuous to DISKA3.
- Other problem pop up as the result of skipping A2. I got mv and rm command not
- found error messages and some files were missing in FAQ directory. After
- the installed all the disks(a2-a4), a booting disk was supposed to be written.
- but the install program skipped the booting disk( the drive light not even
- frash)
- Have anyone encounter the same problem with the SLS 98p5 in tsx-11 and has
- solutions for the A2 disk problem?
