Installing With Terminal Through Serial

[awesome-dave1 at juno.com]

Hi,
	Hook up your terminal, put in the cd, and bootdisk. When you start the
computer the floppy will spin for a second, you'll be at the boot prompt.
Type:
linux console=ttyS0
ttyS0 is com1 under dos, ttyS1 com2 etc.
	Hope this helps.
Dave.
