Hi all !

I'm trying to installa YDL on such a machine but with no results sadly :(=


As I can read here:
   http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/hardware/breakdown/rs6k.shtml

I downloaded the zImage from here>

   http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/hardware/breakdown/rs6k/zImage

The kernel boots BUT when it asks me to put a root disk and to press ente=
r,
after I press enter I get a kernel panic because the kernel doesn't look
at the floppy !
The led is always off after I press enter, even if I don't change disk !

Is the kernel talking in the wrong way with the hardware ?

I tried with root=3D/dev/fd0 and root=3D/dev/fd and with them the kernel =
at
least ask me to press enter (even if it doesn't look at the phisical disk=

later).
I also tried with /dev/disk/0 and others but in this case it says that th=
e
device does not exist !

Help me please !
