Can't install Slackware

[David Baker]

I had been using a ZipSpeak boot floppy.  Do I have to use the umsdos.gz
file, since I'm installing to a drive that has a FAT16 File system on it?  I
don't want to keep it, that's just what it is now.  I was reticent to run
fdisk.exe from a boot floppy, since MicSoft's fdisk doesn't support a Linux
partition.
BTW, after whacking enter as you suggested (with that boot floppy made with
Rawrite from Zipspeak), I still got a Kernel Panic VFS error; couldn't open
root device.

I appreciate any help you can give.

Thanks,

DaveB

All you do is insert floppy disk in the drive and hit enter.
Use the speakup disks found on the site, not the boot disk on the cd.
