Hi all.I'm trying to install slackware over a serial line. When the disk 
loads I type ramdisk console=ttyS0 and press enter. after the disk loads 
all the messages show up on my serial terminal. at the "insert root 
floppy disk to be loaded into ramdisk and press enter" prompt, I put in 
my rootdisk and hit enter on the terminal. nothing. it doesn't even try 
the drive. it's like I didn't press any key at all. I try hitting enter 
on the keyboard atached to the pc that I'm installing on. nothing 
happens then either. I've tried with slackware 7.1 and 8.0 with the same 
results. for terminal packages I've tried both hyperterminal and 
teraterm. any suggestions would be greately apreciated.
