I've re-installed mulinux through boot.bat and _one_ line containing:
loadlin.exe mulinuz initrd=ROOT.gz INFO=dosinstall
floppy=thinkpad hd=699,16,63
The command
/#cat /proc/cmdline
showed _one_ line with:
root=/dev/hda1 rw no387 ramdisk_size=4600 aha152x=0x140,10,7,1
max_scsi_luns=1 BOOT_IMAGE=mulinuz
Also, it is CHS=700/16/63 although there is the hd=699,16,63
in boot.bat.
Also, according to http://peipa.essex.ac.uk/tp-linux/tp-linux.html,
I tried boot.bat with (one line):
loadlin.exe mulinuz initrd=ROOT.gz INFO=dosinstall
floppy=thinkpad append = "hd=699,16,63"
and tried
... APPEND = "HD=699,16,63" [in case it's case sensitive]
... APPEND = "HD=518,16,63" [the actual cyl in the primary partition]
... hd=518,16,63 [in case it panics :) by 'append']
Unfortunately, loadlin even doesn't read or append it, becaus it always
comes up with CHS=700/16/63.
Also, /#cat /proc/cmdline produces the same output (see above) each time.
Can't I just write 'hd=518,16,63' (or such) in
c:\linux\va\loadlin\kernel.cfg
i.e. as a new line in the 'append' paragraph ?
... or as a constant ... somewhere in
c:\mulinux\mu.cfg ?
Still hoping ... :)
