Welcome to the Slackware Linux (v. 3.2.0) bootkernel disk!
If you have any extra parameters to pass to the kernel, enter them at the
prompt below after one of the valid configuration names (ramdisk, mount, drive2)
Here are some examples (and more can be found in the BOOTING file):
ramdisk hd=cyl,hds,secs (Where "cyl", "hds", and "secs" are the number of
cylinders, sectors, and heads on the drive. Most
machines won't need this.)
In a pinch, you can boot your system with a command like:
mount root=/dev/hda1
On machines with low memory, you can use mount root=/dev/fd1 or
mount root=/dev/fd0 to install without a ramdisk. See LOWMEM.TXT for details.
If you would rather load the root/install disk from your second floppy drive:
drive2 (or even this: ramdisk root=/dev/fd1)
DON'T SWITCH ANY DISKS YET! This prompt is just for entering extra parameters.
If you don't need to enter any parameters, hit ENTER to continue.
