Re: [SuSE Linux] Hosed boot disk , how do I boot up ?
Some how My boot diskett got hosed , and will not work. How do I reboot into Linux.
Nothing to it. Boot to Windows and from your first cd, run the setup.exe program and choose the make boot disk option. (If you don't know what to do now) Then boot to the floppy, choose the install option, boot installed system, and tell it where your file system is. i.e. /dev/hdb1 is where mine is. Hope this helps. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at <A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com"><A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com</A">http://www.hotmail.com</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Rick , You hit the nail right on then head , I used /dev/hdb5 ( found this in ect/fstab) Weirrd device No , I tried a whole bunch before looking in the back of ther suse manuale , it has a list of all configuration file. It booted fine , went into yast , created a new boot disk , and I am now up and running. This list is by far one of the best sources for help. Where else can you post a message 8:00pm , come in at 9P:00am and find ansewrs waiting. You guys are all trerific. Opps , thanks to all the others who replied , dont want to leave youa all out. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
