Stage One: The Base Installation

101

First the installation medium must be chosen from the following dialogue box:

Screen 15: Media Selection

If the CD ROM drive is either a SCSI device or an IDE/ATAPI style interface

then the installation can proceed from the CD ROM device.

If the CD ROM device uses a proprietary interface then the drivers are not

currently available to the kernel, and you will not be able to access the drive

until they are loaded. You will need a rescue floppy and the three floppies

required to hold the drivers. See the install.en.txt file on the CD ROM for

information on creating these floppies. Once you have created these disks,

choose  First Floppy Drive  and follow the directions for inserting disks.

If the CD ROM drive is a supported SCSI or IDE/ATAPI interface, then

simply choose cdrom from the Select Installation Medium dialog box.
