SubjectMounting CD-ROM's...
Hi there...

Here's the problem I have:

I boot off the disk and it gets to the boot: prompt. Now if I just go with
the defaults and hit return it will not find my cd-rom. So I enter the
command "mount root=/dev/scd0" and I press enter. Still nothing.

So I went ahead and copied Slakware onto my hard drive so I can install
from there. I then went through the same steps. This time I went with the
defaults. When I pick the dos partition for the install it tells me that it
cannot find it under the mnt directory.

Went back to boot: prompt. This time I issued the command "mount
root=/dev/hda1" to mount my hard drive. Well apparently this command stops
the login process because it never asks you for the root disk.

So.... HELP!!
TIA

Nicko
