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?
