i dont really need help with this, i just want to vent some frustration. ive got a am5x86 133 which had a 130mb seagate (c) and a 170mb wd (d) .. MONTHS ago i formatted the 170mb for ext2 and installed lilo on it for a server/firewall box, but i moved that hd into my am5x86 just because.. now i want to put it in an i486sx25, probably to give to some relative for whom a 486 would be some great thing.. so anyhow. stupid fscking lilo is STILL on the mbr!
so i try dos 6.22 on the am5x86, and fdisk /mbr.. put it back in the sx25, boot up..
LILO 21.7-5 Loading linuxEBDA too big
.
so i try recreating the partitions blah blah.. same deal. feh.
%#!@%. the am5x86 has this gimpy 2x cdrom which opens and closes itself, and i dont have dos drivers for it.. so i cant boot off a win98 cd and try the fdisk from that.. so i try putting it in my k63-333, and it doesnt even SEE the drive.
*grumble*
