Oh great. Now you tell me :-/. I've been banging my head against this
pc164 for ages without getting anywhere.
So tell me... what do I need to do to get this beast upwardly mobile? Try
to keep it simple please, I'm not sure I know what I am doing with this
:). FYI I can get MILO going ok and the kernel generally loads ok too but
when the ramdisk is attempted it will fail [1]. I should also mention that
the archive of this list has not been able to help me, though I'm sure the
info is in there if I only knew how to extract it, so even just a pointer
to where I can find what I need will be useful.
Thanks.
[1] I've had mostly failures to mount root fs on... but depending on what
parameters I give to MILO I get varying results, All not good.
