I am new to Linux. I'm a fairly adept pc user but can't seem to get past this issue.
The problem:
I believe my BIOS allows me to boot from ATAPI CD (it is an option in the boot order select menu) & I select this option. However, it will not recognize device and fails.
I created a boot floppy using the SBM image in the install dir. It works but only sees the floppy, IDE HD and several device slots (IRQs ?). It seems to be telling me that the CD drives (I have two ) are either not seen, or are not bootable devices (not sure which).
Does anyone have any ideas? I tried an old Corel Linux CD with its boot floppy and it works fine on the system (I didnt intall though). I'm thinking one of the Linux disks on bootdisk.com?!
Thanks for any help anyone can offer. -Ross
