These problems in the TAMU.99p4 instructions/boot disk have been fixed.
I have created an ERRATA file which will keep a list of fixes and their
upload times, so users can easily determine if a given bug has been
fixed, and if they need to re-download a file. Currently ERRATA contains:
==========================================================================
ERRATA list for TAMU.99p4
This is a list of major bugs which have been fixed, with the time
the fix was uploaded to sc.tamu.edu
1. 2/2/93 10:08 AM - updated boot.Z.
The original boot image defaulted to vga mode 1, which caused
some users problems. The new image asks for the mode at boot time.
2. 2/2/93 11:30 AM - updated boot.Z
The boot disk automated installation program was not able to
install BOOTACTV when asked. (This can be done manually after
installation with "cp /etc/lilo/bootactv.bin /dev/hda"
(modify "hda" if your boot drive is different))
In addition, the install program did not build the new
/etc/fstab correctly, although this should not have affected
normal booting.
