The title line says it all. I'm trying to boot from a SCSI CDROM on an IBM Thinkpad DOCK II. The destination machine is a 755CX, with an 810MB hard drive. I've followed the instructions, but obviously I'm doing something terribly wrong, because with: "scsi" bootdisk "color" 1.44 rootdisk (1) if I boot with: boot: ramdisk floppy=thinkpad the boot process asks me to insert the ramdisk. At which point, I insert the "color" rootdisk. It then asks for that, so I just hit return, and then the kernel panics. (2) if I boot with: boot: mount root=/dev/fd0 floppy=thinkpad then it doesn't ask for the ramdisk, but it *does* die when it tries to mount the root (again). What am I doing wrong? I guess this is a true sign of a newbie -- I don't have a clue what's going wrong! Thanks in advance for any pointers, --chet--
