I am trying to create a new slackware boot image. I loaded the original speakup.i into a ram device - no problem there. I then modified the lilo.conf to include a synth parameter for speakout - no problem. But I tried to do a lilo -r /mnt (mount point to my ram device) and I keep getting errors such as non existant device and such. It apparently doesn't like ft0 while using this RAM based floppy device. How have you all out there done this? I'm obviously referring to those who have done this before:). Any help? Thanks for the idea.
