Let me know if it works for you!
After successfully booting from USB, open /initrd/sbin/init and search for
text 'v2.10r1' and you will see the fix.
Works:
Note: Alternate boot images (from bootfat project, IIRC) used.
Updated initrd.gz used.
/dev/sd*1 used.
* USB stick boot on Dell Latitude D500 (laptop) WORKS
* USB stick boot on Dell Precision 370 with SATA only HDD WORKS
Broken:
Dell laptop using superfloppy (dev/sda) BROKEN
Once I have a prompt, though, I can mount /dev/sda
Output from the following commands is attached FYI
# dmesg
# disktype /dev/sda
# probedisk
# probepart
I do a little computer rescue work--not very often--but when I do puppy in my pocket is incredibly convenient.
Thank you and all the team for all your work.
