I am facing a boot Problem I can't handle myself.
I am trying to set up am small Workshop-PC on basis of a FSC Futuro S400 ThinClient. The machine runs on a small 5GB HDD (Microdrive). The HDD ist is split up in two Partitions. Partition1 (sda1, 4GB) is NTFS-formatted and contains a minimal WinXPsp3 installation. Partition2 (sda2, 1GB) is ext2 formatted and should contain a Slacko5.3.3 frugal installation. The Installation was done via the universal Installer with "ide or SATA HDD" as boot-device. As Bootmanager I use Grub4DOS in the MBR of the HDD (built with the Grub4DOS config wizard).
The Problem is: When booting Puppy from sda2 (wich is correctly identified as hd(0,1)) the boot process starts as usual an then the screen shows this:
and I get something like a terminal-prompt.searching for puppy files ............ pausing puppy_slacko_5.3.3.sfs not found. Dropping to initial ramdisk console
BTW booting WinXP is working properly in this setup!
For fault finding I have attached a screen-shot of sda1, sda2 and my hdd-partitioning.
