Well it seems that the presence of a kernel.conf file in the root directory of the floppy has stopped the visual kernel configuration screen coming up. It seems that having 'USERCONFIG' at tyhe top and 'quit' at the bottom is what was needed. My problem now is that I have no idea what should be in the file. When the kernel is loaded and it parses the commands in my kernel.conf file the messages fly by on the screen so quickly. Is there any way I can pause it so that I can read these messages? As the messages fly by I have noticed that it doesn't like the commands I have in my file. Can someone help me with what format the config commands in this file should be in? Are there instructions or a reference to this any where?
