I tried them both on my 386 laptop (with a 1.44MB drive), and I tried comb on my Tandy 1000SL/2 (with a 720k drive). Both failed to boot from the floppy. I copied the images from a WinXP machine using rawwritewin, and again from a Linux machine using dd - no luck with either one. Any advice? Thanks, Eddie ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I also remember troubles like this, so I tryied to put together a floppy image myself. You can find at: http://cdn.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/appuntilinux/nanoElks/ With my latest experiments (september 2004) I had troubles with "init": only some real hardware can work with it. I wrote some notes on my experiments, but with italian language at http://cdn.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/appuntilinux/anteprima/elks_realizzazione_personale.html Saluti/Regards/Gruesse, daniele giacomini - daniele (ad) swlibero.org ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

IIRC, you can get around the problem for now by changing init to /bin/sh. Jody ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
