Hi, I am trying to install Slackware 7.1 on a HP Pavillion. I think I partioned the drive ok but I am having problems installing. I need the CDROM to install. Unfortunately I was booting from the CDROM and was (apparently) unable to change disks because I guess it won't let go of the boot drive. I did partion the hard-drive using fdisk though. When I boot from the floppy should I be able to mount the drive? I tried to mount /dev/hda1 but somehow it jumped the tracks and I got a 'kernel panic' message. I also tried using the 'root disk' floppy but then I was unable to login, (when I give my login as 'root' it just reprompts for the login.)... What do I seem to be doing wrong?
