All,

I tried this copying approach with no luck. So went back to original
settings in /etc/lilo.conf.

A df -k showed that root was pointing to the correct mount point. init
points to the initrd.2.4.7 whatever file so I presume that's correct (it's
how it is on my desktop which has the same partitioning layout if not the
same sizes). Funny that on the floppy the initrd file doesn't have the
kernel version extension nor is it the same size(?).

I haven't looked at /etc/fstab yet, nor have I checked /sbin/init. Will let
you know how I got on.

Rgs,

Matt

You should copy the initrd.img (or something) file from the floppy to the
/boot dir. Then you shold edit the grub startup and add a line like 'init =
/boot/initrd.img' or something. I cannot be concise because that's the
problem i've been having with a server but which is not any more accessible.
If you read the man page for grub (or grub.conf), you should get the syntax
right.
