Help!! For the first time ever, I've down loaded SLS 0.99 and I cant
get Linux to see my hard disk. (home system)
MY SYSTEM
=========
486/33 700MB SCSI hard disk, Future Domain TMC860.
SVGA, MS Bus Mouse, DRDOS, OS2 2v0.
The hard disk is partitioned using OS2 fdisk as follows:
1. DRDOS Bootable C:Primary FAT 31MB
2. os2_root Bootable D:Logical HPFS 60MB
3. os2_data Bootable E:Logical HPFS 140MB
4. none F:Logical FAT 32MB
5. Linux Bootable G:Logical FAT 64MB
6. free space 307MB
7. startable :Primary BOOT MANAGER 1MB
WHAT I DID
==========
I created the linux partition using OS2's fdisk.
I then booted the box using SLS a1 (boot) and SLS a2 (root).
When linux boots it says:
/dev/ram on / type minix
/dev/hda2 on /mnt type minix
/dev/fd0H1440 on /user type minix (defaults)
MY PROBLEM!!
===========
When I type fdisk it says "unable to read /dev/hda".
If I try /dev/hda2 it says the same.
Also linux seems to think that my mouse is a Logitech mouse whereas
its an MS bus mouse.:-(
Can anyone help?
Best Regards
............Ian
