system MB ~ 1995 cyrix 486 ide 240 meg conner on port 1 master ide cd-rom 4x on port 2 slave disk id 0 340M quantum on / whole disk disk id 1 340M quantum on /var whole disk disk id 2 1080M seagate partition 1 80M swap partition 2 950M on /usr if i just let it boot i get the error: c:1456 > 1023 (bios limit) if i use a boot manager and try booting off ID 1 i get the boot prompt and can type 1:sd(1,a)kernel but it finally says cannot mount root after probing for all the devices. I dont understand cause the root filesystem is on its own disk of 340M in size why does it think the bios limit is reached. What disk is causing this problem? what can i do to fix it.?
