NS 3.3 Install issues with ThinkPad 560x

[Ashley W. Campbell]

Howdy.

I have a TP 560x, and am trying to install NS3.3 on it. I know that this can
be done, but I don't know if it can be done in my situation.

I have an IBM IDE CD-ROM drive connected via a PCMCIA card. I also have a
fairly generic 10Base-T PC card device.

I can get to the point in the install where the system reboots into the 'rom
monitor'-type window, but I can't get any further, as it can't find the
CD-ROM device to mount the root FS. Does anyone know what driver I need for
the CD-ROM drive?

(So far I've tried dual EIDE/ATAPI and normal EIDE/ATAPI)

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

Please post any helpful info, I am having similar problems with a
Thinkpad i-series 1410.

Can an install be done just with floppy + CD or should I do a
net-install ? Is that easy to do ?

Thanks,

A. Gautier
