ISA-Laptop floppy install
  • Yeah! Hardcore!

    I'm using an old noname Pentium-Classic-laptop for installing slitaz with the floppy-method on it. Downloaded the latest 5-disk-floppy set (3.0). Booting went fine but now I'm stuck with some hardware-issues.

    The main thing is, how to get the kernel and the rootfs.gz-file to my harddisk. The hd is partitioned and mounted. I have two possibilities to copy the data to my system, now: cd-rom or network. The laptop doesn't have any PCI-devices, it's an ISA-only-machine. But it has a pcmcia and a scsi-port. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get one of them ready.

    lsmod says, the only module loaded is "floppy". There are no scsi- or pcmcia-drivers loaded by default. (So, inserting a pcmcia-card doesn't cause any reaction.) pccardctl doesn't say anything. Can't find any modules named "sg or "sr" or any other scsi-modules.

    Any hints for what I can do, now?
