Hi,
I am struggling to get Debian onto my nice new Toshiba Portege m200. Here are the problems I have run into so far:
1. The cd is usb and cannot be used to boot the Debian CDs (or Gentoo LiveCD or Knoppix for that matter)
2. I need to use the bf2.4 flavor so I can get my ethernet card working but bf1.4 cannot be run from dos and when I run it from a floppy I get:
VFS: Insert root floppy disk to be loaded into RAM disk and press ENTER
request_module[block major-2]: root fs not mounted
kernel panic-VFS unable to mount root fs on 02:00
3. This website:
http://www.adebenham.com/laptop/toshiba_m200.html says installing IS possible but that guy/gal set up another computer as a network boot server. I don't have the luxury of being able to do this. He/she mentions he used the debian-installer images. What are those?
Thanks for reading...
Debian
