I have now reformatted my drive (unallocated)
with media in every drive including THE floppy drive
w/ no video driver on
a.) boot messages display normally, kernel boots up
b.) the first screen of the (textmode)installer is unreadable, hit return
(to see what happens) a blue screen appears and some unreadable messages
(which appear to be read errors from the cd.) occur and the machine restarts
on its own (Same as before). -- FAILED INSTALL
I have tried with all external devices disconnected (floppy power
disconnected, too.)
a.) same as above -- INSTALLER FAILS
Installation on SCSI drive
w/ no video driver on -- INSTALLER FAILS
a.) same as above
Dusted off my old 7200/90 from the closet formatted drive
boot (MacOS) off external zip (floppy power disconnected, too)
Installation on SCSI drive
w/ no video driver on
a.) same as above -- INSTALLER FAILS
I am giving up on the installer and sticking with YDL 1.2.1 and building
what I want from source.
