Hi Loadlin is a dos utility to load Linux kernel images. Most installation routines put a copy of the kernel in ram to initiate the install. Thus your disk organisation has little to do with loadlin asking for what it was built for. There's plenty of documentation on loadlin and its parameters.

I think my d drive is hdc because I have to jumper the removable drives as master in order for them to work. Also, do I need to not load dtexp.bat since that is a DOS driver? If I have no partitions, will hdx1 always be 1? Sincerely, O.
