Since upgrading my machine and operating system I have been trying to create a rescue disc set. My trusty old Tomsrtbt no longer works because it doesn't support my new SCSI adapter.
I have just tried Mindi and after booting the first disc it stops with the following messages:
inserting floppy driver for 2.2.20 unable to get major 2 for floppy inserting floppy driver for 2.2.20 unable to get major 2 for floppy inserting floppy driver for 2.2.20 unable to get major 2 for floppy inserting floppy driver for 2.2.20 unable to get major 2 for floppy
mounting /tmp/tmpfs ... Fatal error! Failed. UPGRADE YOUR RAM! Please! Dude, your computer is dying of thirst over here ..
I think that the second message is a consequence of the first and is not actually due to a lack of ram as this machine has 256MB.
Could anyone please explain what the first four identical messages mean? I did, as required, build floppy support into the kernel together with ramdisc and initrd support.
It would be reassuring to have a rescue disc of some sort once again.

Hi Barry
With the widespread availability of CDR's, why use a floppy - You could pack just about anything you would ever need on to one CD.
Mmmm.... Unless you have a SCSI CD drive that doesn't support bootable CDs.
