| i'm having some trouble booting on a intel 440GX motherboard
| with 2 800mhz coppermine processors.
|
| i've got an aic-7896n on the motherboard with no disks attached
| and a mylex controler with two disks attached. there are no
| ide disks, save the cdrom.
|
| the machine loads 9load from cdrom and prints something like
| this (copied down, so probablly not verbatim):
|
| ELCR: 0E00
|
| dev A0 port 1F0 config 85C0 capabilities 2F00 mwdma 0407
| Boot devices: fd0
|
| i tried the drive as a primary and secondary ide master;
| same results.
|
| i tried
| 	sdD0!cdboot!9pcflop.gz
| and get
| 	unknown partition
| i tried
| 	fd0!dos!9pcflop.gz
| and it boots (recognizing one processor) up to the point where it
| prints "kfs..." and then it stops.
|
| any ideas?
|
