Hello, I write you from Italy.

Here you the problem I hope you can solve.

I downloaded the entire /bin directory from your ftp site and the boot
end fixit floppy.

I installed only the bin directory fon a DOS partition and the
installation program go through all of the 66 bin files and do not show
any apparent error.

When i reboot, the system starts with the usual line, then start with
default command line....the system check and load a variety of devices,
included the Hard Drive IDE (master on the second PCI EIDE port)

THE PROBLEM IS...after that above,the last message on screen is:

PANIC...can't mount / file system
THE SYSTEM WILL REBOOT WITHIN 15 SECONDS


Can you tell me something??       Thanks a lot
