I'm having trouble with the boot floppy install.
For some reason, sysinst (?) thinks m root partition is too big >1024 meg,
even though I use the default config, 277 Meg Root, I think.
I can get by that by telling it to proceed, but I cannot get the network
configured for ftp install.
I've given it valid host name, domain name, and address, valid gateway
address, and tried with and without nameserver addresses. I got the media
right thanks to suggestions from the list.
For some reason, the card doesn't seem to get configured,
I see (approximately) ping send to: no route to host.
if I quit out of the installer, ifconifig shows an unconfigured interface.
Any ideas?
Is there a cdrom?
