- Help!! For the first time ever, I've down loaded SLS 0.99 and I cant
- get Linux to see my hard disk. (home system)
-
- MY SYSTEM
- ---------
- 486/33 700MB SCSI hard disk, Future Domain TMC860.
- SVGA, MS Bus Mouse, DRDOS, OS2 2v0.
-
- The hard disk is partitioned using OS2 fdisk as follows:
- 1. DRDOS Bootable C:Primary FAT 31MB
- 2. os2_root Bootable D:Logical HPFS 60MB
- 3. os2_data Bootable E:Logical HPFS 140MB
- 4. none F:Logical FAT 32MB
- 5. Linux Bootable G:Logical FAT 64MB
- 6. free space 307MB
- 7. startable :Primary BOOT MANAGER 1MB
-
- WHAT I DID
- ----------
- I created the linux partition using OS2's fdisk.
- I then booted the box using SLS a1 (boot) and SLS a2 (root).
- When linux boots it says:
- /dev/ram on / type minix
- /dev/hda2 on /mnt type minix
- /dev/fd0H1440 on /user type minix (defaults)
-
- MY PROBLEM!!
- -----------
- When I type fdisk it says "unable to read /dev/hda".
- If I try /dev/hda2 it says the same.
-
- Also linux seems to think that my mouse is a Logitech mouse whereas
- its an MS bus mouse.:-(
-
- Can anyone help?
-
- Best Regards
- ............Ian
