I'm sure I have a very basic problem here. I have the Yggdrasil Plug-and-Play
Linux CDROM and boot floppy. I suspect some might say that's my problem!
When I try to boot my 755CE from that boot floppy, I get the first two
letters of the expected "LILO", and then it hangs. If I try to "runlinux"
>from the CDROM (Raven CD-Note PCMCIA-SCSI interface), I get a DOS message
saying that I am trying to perform a "privileged" operation. The
"runlinux" command just tries to load linux boot code above the DOS driver
memory so that it can use them.
Is there a change I should be making to my configuration to allow such a
"privileged" operation? I am using the standard config.sys etc., except
that I have installed the CDROM and an ethernet network card driver.
Any ideas why the boot floppy hangs the machine? To make certain my
bootfloppy was current, I remade it, but got the same result.
An old UNIX geek who doesn't know the first thing about DOS and Windows...
