hi,
i just downloaded knoppix 3.3. i have to boot it from floppy, because
my old bios has no support for booting from cdrom. so i made a
bootdisk as described in the docs.
i insert the floppydisk and the knoppix cdrom as well. the system
boots from floppy and i get the knoppix boot screen, but when it tries to load
the kernel i always get "Boot failed: please change disks and try
again".
what is this? do i need special boot parameters? can anybody please
help me?
i tried the bootdisk on several systems. always the same :-( on
systems with bootable cdroms it works very well without the
floppydisk, but when i boot from floppy this systems fail as well
thanks,
rainer
