I have a ET4000 tsenglabs/  4MB   240MB-Hard drive/ I have a SoundBlaster 16
card and CD_ROM
I repartitioned my HD to:
/dev/hda1  bootable   1=begin  1=start  235=end BLKS=61670 ID=6   DOS

with Linux I created 2 more partitions....
/dev/hda2           237        237      627          102637   82  Linux Swap

/dev/hda3           628        628      690          16537    83  LinuxNative
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have Slakware Linux on CD.
The PRoblem.............

I made the BOOT DISK (sbpcd) and the ROOT DISK....
I place the BOOT in and turn on the computer at the BOOT PROMPT (I type)
mount root=/dev/fd0  (to boot without  a ramdisk)

Then it asks about creating a SWAP FILE, so I TYPE

/dev/hda1   

then it has how many bytes big do I want the SWAPFILE...I've typed everything
from:  2096 to 15537

Ive also tried to use ---- /dev/hda2 & /dev/hda3...but I get ERRORS...

'After I type /dev/hda1 and say 8184MB's...it goes to the #-prompt...

So I type SETUP  only to have the program hang up somewhere during the
SETUP.

BTW...I compressed my Hard Drive would that have anything to do with
it???

'At the BOOT prompt ive tried typing:  RAMDISK hd=937,15,35

After running linux FDISK I once got an ERROR like
this.................
:calling ioctl()to re-read partition table
:syncing disk
:
:re-read table failed with ERROR 16: device or resource busy
