What did I do wrong?
 

I installed Icepack Linux 2.0 on a blank drive. The installation seemed to go without any problems but when I boot the machine I select Icepack from the boot manager (only option right now) and then I just get a blinking cursor. Nothing else comes up.

All help is greatly appriciated.

Which boot manager (Lilo, Grub)? Knowing that will help to define a fix for your predicament!!

I used the default boot manager for Icepack. Found on this page. http://www.icepack-linux.com/managers.html

I just did a standard install. It seemed prety simple and straight forward.

well, youre' really gonna struggle with out giving more info, especially with a bootloader than next to no linux user will actually have used...

Is there a way to replace the bootloader? I have no problem with doing a reinstall since this is the exact reason I built a seperate machine for testing purposes. I did it this way because I know next to nothing about Linux and it is better to screw up a machine with no information on it than to screw up your main machines.

No help from anyone?

what happens if you try to boot from the boot floppy you made??

Nothing yet because the drive ate the floppy. I will be trying again when I get home after work with the new drive.
