sbootmgr.dsk This nifty little tool allows selecting various devices to boot
|
||
|
|
from a menu, and even allows booting a CD-ROM in machines where
|
||
|
|
the BIOS doesn't support it (or it's supposed to support it, but
|
||
|
|
it just doesn't work). If you have trouble booting the
|
||
|
|
Slackware CD-ROM, you might try writing this image to a floppy,
|
||
|
|
booting it, and then selecting your CD-ROM drive as the boot
|
||
|
|
device.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The SBM installer is available as a Slackware package (called
|
||
|
|
"btmgr") in the extra/ packages collection.

Generic floppy image creation info:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To create a floppy disk from one of these images, use the RAWRITE command on
|
||
|
|
DOS or Windows. For example, to make the first rootdisk image (install.1),
|
||
|
|
you'd put a formatted 1.44MB floppy in your floppy drive, and then run this
|
||
|
|
command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
C:\> RAWRITE INSTALL.1 A:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are several versions of RAWRITE provided to handle most versions of DOS
|
||
|
|
and Windows. If one version doesn't seem to work, try another.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To make the floppy images under Linux, use the "cat" command to send them to
|
||
|
|
the floppy device. This command will make the first install disk:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cat install.1 > /dev/fd0
