Hi Alex. Ask Kerry to confirm this, but you might want to try setting the jumpers on the hd and the Cdrom. Am I right in thinking this? If he is on ide0, just set the hd to master and cdrom to slave. ----- Original Message ----- From: Alex Snow To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 6:57 PM Subject: Hardware Question Hi. I am installing a temperary verson of linux on an old 486 box. To Get linux from the winblows machine to the 486, I need to install a CDrom. I hooked it to the same ribbon as the hd since there was room, but it won't boot with the cdrom on the controler. How do I tell the hd to be master and cdrom to be slave? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
