If I try a hard disk based install this is what my screen looks like
I forget to add the hard disk install instructions where. cp -a /mnt/cdrom/isolinux/vmlinuz /boot/FC2-install cp -a /mnt/cdrom/isolinux/initrd.img /boot/FC2-install.img umount /mnt/cdrom and add entry like: title Fedora Core 2 Installation root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/FC2-install initrd /boot/FC2-install.img hello, it turns out that my POS motherboard was dying. 2 days later it wouldn't boot at all. |
