| |
Hi- I've been trying to install slackware linux from a zip disk onto an old computer of mine. This computer is and old 386SX, with ESDI disk interfaces. My ZIP Drive is the parallel port version. When I boot with the iomega.s image, it doesnt detect the disk and returns "error 1". I believe that if I can modify the boot disk to look at the correct parallel port (0x3 instead of 0x378), I can use the Zip disk with the linux disk sets on it to the new system. So my problem is modifying the boot disk image to look on 0x instead of 0x378. Can anyone offer some advice on how to do that, or if a to rebuilding of the kernel is needed, how to do that so it would be like the iomega.s disk but with the parallel port on the ppa driver changed.
