Difficulty installing on 'noname' from disks-alpha/1998-07-02
I am installing on a 'noname' (decaxppci33) Alpha using
'debian/dists/sid/main/disks-alpha/1998-07-02'.
I have reached step 5 in the
'debian/dists/sid/main/disks-alpha/1998-07-02/README'.
I proceeded through the installation sequence to the point where the
installation suggest making a boot floppy. At this point I attempt to
reboot, as suggested in step 5 of the readme.
The boot sequence progresses nicely through fsck'ing the hard drive.
After fsck is complete, a message says something about not mounting any
local file systems and 'hangs'. (Sorry I can't be more precise with the
console dialog, the machine is at home and I am at work.)
Can anybody give shed some light on this behavior?
My drive is partitioned sda1:fat; sda2:linux swap; sda3:linux native.
I am booting the 'installed' kernel from milo with 'boot sda3:vmlinuz
root=/dev/sda3'.
I have milo bootable from the hard drive using the arc console. I have used
it to boot the rescue disk and hard drive. This seems unrelated to the
problem I am having.
