The title line says it all. I'm trying to boot from a SCSI CDROM
on an IBM Thinkpad DOCK II. The destination machine is a 755CX,
with an 810MB hard drive.
I've followed the instructions, but obviously I'm doing something
terribly wrong, because with:
"scsi" bootdisk
"color" 1.44 rootdisk
(1) if I boot with:
boot: ramdisk floppy=thinkpad
the boot process asks me to insert the ramdisk. At which point, I
insert the "color" rootdisk. It then asks for that, so I just hit
return, and then the kernel panics.
(2) if I boot with:
boot: mount root=/dev/fd0 floppy=thinkpad
then it doesn't ask for the ramdisk, but it *does* die when it tries to
mount the root (again).
What am I doing wrong? I guess this is a true sign of a newbie --
I don't have a clue what's going wrong!
Thanks in advance for any pointers,
--chet--
