port settings in linux

[Igor Gueths]

Hi Alex. Try leaving out the c:\ before vmlinuz. Probably vmlinuz is confused when it can't understand what c:\ means. I remember that when I had to edit my Debian start-up batchfile for installation, it was something like: c:\dosutils\loadlin linux speakup_synth=dectlk root=/dev/ram and so on.

  Hi.
  Tried those echo commands, nothing.
  I used jaws for dos to see if that worked and it did (I start slackware from dos using loadlin).
  When the kernel boots however, the blt clicks on like it's going to say something, but nothing happens.
  Below is the line I use to start linux encase it helps.
   
  smartdrv /C
  c:\loadlin\loadlin c:\linux\vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 speakup_synth=bns speakup_ser=0
