Loadlin




Loadlin 1.5, the version most popular on all the current distributions,
apperently has no support for hdc and hdd.

I tryed to install Linux yesterday on a VX board, P133, hda is all DOS,
and HDC is all Linux. floppyless installation of RH 3.0.3 worked fine
(only I was sad to be reminded that Adaptec AHA-1510 isn't supported),
i.e. I had the sb mounted, hcd partitioned, formatted and installed
smoothly, but loadlin couldn't be set to have it as root (only hda/hdb
supported, said the manual), and Lilo got stuck at "LI"

disk 1 is a Seagate 850, Primary/master
disk 2 is WD 1280, Secondery/master
both LBA, all should have gone smoothly, at least with LILO, but also
loadlin. what gives?
