Well. I thought I almost got it. I had the BTLD drivers, formatted diskettes and the zeal of course. So I went to the client site, told the IT Manager I would finalise the installation that day.
So I got to work, typed link at the boot prompt, then types lsil( for LSI Logic 53c1030 BTLD drivers). Everything seemed ok until I got a message saying cannot load Ram Disk. Memory fragmented. I was like WHAT!
I then phoned some Unix guru that I know and he just told me that I had to create the BTLD floppy with Unix. Yeah yeah yeah...... So I got him to give me a couple of commands I could use. So where am I... Couldnt mount the device called cdrom in UNix. It had the image for the drivers. Point is, why should reading from the CD-ROM be such a hustle....in Unix. Man I love my Windows XP !
Am still trying to figure it out. because I have to create the BTLD floppy in Unix, couldnt get rawrite to work for me. Am told windows uses blocks whilst Unix reads the floppy character by character....
