There were errors in the text displayed for the menu.lst entry. ex: one place had (hd,0) instead of (hd0,0)
I rewrote the menu entry as
Code: Select all
title = Puppy 214R (frugal) on hda1
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
kernel /puppy214/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 PMEDIA=idehd psubdir=puppy214
initrd /puppy214/initrd.gz
This is a great little system for old machines, and hotpuppy is habit forming. Fix the frugal install and it will go far.
