I can boot from the floppy. The sysinst program goes well. At least =
until it asks for the location of the distribution sets. I have them on =
a CD-RW that is in the only CD-ROM on the system. The CD-ROM is a SCSI =
model on the first SCSI bus at scsi-int\sd@3: and why does the install =
program tell me that it cannot find the sets? Then it asks me if I would =
like to try again, quit, or continue anyway. It never finds the files.=20
The dmesg command does list all the hardware in the machine. The =
locations are just as I expected them to be laid out. How can I use Open =
Firmware 1.0.5 to find out just what devices can it read? Specifically =
what are the command syntax and variable names to be used for such a =
query?=20
Thank You in Advance,
Ralph in Boise
