Hi,
I am currently trying to help a friend of mine with getting Linux up and
running on his machine. I have compiled 0.99.5 with support for most
SCSI devices + a microsoft busmouse + ROOTDEV = FLOPPY. When I boot it
off my SCSI partition (with ROOTDEV = /dev/sda5) it works fine, but when
booting it off the floppy I get to the point where it says "please insert
root device and press ENTER "(or something close to it) it just hangs (no
drive light comes on). Any clues?
