[ale] bootstrapping linux (fwd)

[dZothMuellarg]

^Some piece of crap "operating system" (W95) overwrote my MBR so I
^can't boot up linux any more. Furthermore, the rescue disks I made
^when I initially installed linux (version 1.?) won't work with my new
^2.0 kernel. I downloaded a new boot.img/supp.img from
^ftp.cc.gatech.edu:/pub/linux/distributions/redhat/redhat-4.1/i386/images,
^and can now get my machine to boot off of floppy, but it boots up
^using the floppy as the root filesystem.

Did you incude the supp.img.  It sounds like you need it in order to
properly find the disk.  Other wise you sound like your on th eright
track.
