Got some newbie issues, here -- I've recently installed the current version of Slackware on an old machine (486/66, 8MB RAM,) and it doesn't want to boot correctly.
LILO seems to work, and the system goes through the hardware-detect motions, but then asks me to insert a root disk. I can get logged in by booting from a floppy, but I'm not sure what to do at that point to get the thing fixed.
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
