All, Thanks for the help. I may try that (although I have a number of images on my /boot drive - I'd hate to lose them). I was hoping to have the Suse boot info installed on a floppy disk, and I could just copy the info over from floppy to /boot without disturbing my current configuration. Does anyone know why the install program can't find /dev/fd0? Does Suse 9.1 have problems accessing /dev/fd0? Thanks again, Michael -----Original Message----- From: �rn Hansen Sent: May 20, 2004 1:16 PM To: suse-amd64@suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-amd64] Suse9.1 Failed Install on SK8N torsdag 20 maj 2004 19:08 skrev sean-lynch@sean-lynch.com:

1) Before installing SuSE, create a mandrake boot floppy for your current settings.

2) Install SuSE. This, of course overwrites the mandrake boot loader on your hard drive. That is why you created the floppy in step 1.

3) After SuSE is installed, boot to mandrake from your floppy. Update the mandrake boot loader by adding a new entry for SuSE, and write it to your hard drive. This will overwrite the bootloader installed by SuSE in step 2, but will give you back all you had before, and a new entry for SuSE.
