I recently downloaded SLS 0.99pl6 and it installed fine on my
486-66 with an Adaptec SCSI controller/hd. It also installed fine
on my friend's 486-50 with Bustech SCSI and IDE controllers/hds. But
now its having problems on my friend's 386-33 with IDE controller/hd.
Disks A1 and A2 work fine, and fdisk and mke2fs work as expected
(100 meg Linux partition with Linux extfs). Then I type doinstall
/dev/hda2 and it asks for disk A2 (already in drive). A2 installs
fine and it asks for A3. Upon inserting disk A3 and pressing enter, I get
MINIX-fs magic match failed
[MS-DOS F5 Rel. alpha.8, FAT 12, check=n, conv=b, uid=0, gid=0, umask=000]
[me=0xf0, cs=1, #f=2, fs=1, f1=9, ds=19, de=224, data=33, se=2880, ts=0]
Insert disk a4...
Note that it does not install any files off of disk a3 before
asking for disk a4. It also will not install any files off of disk a4
and will then proceed with creating the boot floppy. (This was a minimal
installation.)
Any ideas or comments on this problem will be greatly appreciated.
