Can anyone help with this one ?
I've installed Knoppix 3.1 to a new hard drive, with primary and swap partitions.
However on rebooting my system can't boot directly from H/D but can using the boot floppy disk created during the setup procedure.
Also I cannot get a decent screen display now using the 'fb800x600 command'.
The Knoppix bootup screen seems to have separated into three(3) screens which are totally unreadable and even when I manage to login the display I can just about make out appears to be in German.
I've tried resetting my boot sequence in the bios but no difference.
Should I be using the boot floppy at all, as I thought the system files should be read from the new hard drive.
Should I be using a particular command at the boot prompt to get the hard drive to mount or am I just missing something critical here ?
Any help gratefully received for this newbie to Linux.
Thanks
