But I still have the same problems...
1) DE620 Pocket Ethernet. There are two lines in the readout, one
encouraging, one discouraging:
eth0: D-Link DE600 Pocket Adapter: not at I/O 0x378
D-Link DE620 Pocket Adapter, Ethernet Address 00:80:C8:74:42:AB (32k RAM, UTP)
2)
So I boot from the Linux bootdisk and at the prompt type:
hdb=915,2,29225
(Note: there are 2 optional parameters that I'm missing; wpcom and IRQ. I
don't know what wpcom is, and the detect sequence finds 2 IDE controllers,
at IRQ 14 AND 15, I don't know which is which)
And I get: No such image, [TAB] shows a list
When I tab, I get:
ramdisk big2 small2 drive2
mount
I tried using 'mount' but to no avail. The 'Booting.txt' file gave me
little help.
I notice that I have hda1 and hdc1 and hdc3. When I try fdisk /dev/hdc3,
or anything with an integer appended, I get nonsense. As far as I can tell
hda is the HD and hdc is the internal flash.
Is there anyplace I can get more info on this stuff.
Sorry to be a pest; thanks for any help.
