Subject: [9fans] Booting from HD in the absence of floppy?
Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2000 08:33:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8l7qfr$7td$1@nnrp1.deja.com> (raw)
I'm trying to get the rabbit to come out and play,
on a sony vaio 505 (celeron). This looks like a reasonable
bet until the floppy has booted, then I get dumped at the
boot from: prompt, from where it proffers fd0 or sdC0.
The nuances with this beast are that the floppy drive is external
USB (yuk), so its capable of getting the bootstrap up and thence
it loses the plot somewhat as to where to go..
Is there any way of unpacking the 9gz onto the first partition
(FAT, win98) and the waving a wand to bring it up from the
boot from: prompt out of a fat partition?
many thanks for suggestions..
ams.
