Can't find my CDROM drive, tried every option, no joy. Can I add a
kernel option in BootX to locate my cd drive? (Mac system profiler says
it is on ATA1, ID 0).
Have you tried mounting the CD-ROM before you run the setup script, when
you're still at the prompt? I'm presuming it's on /dev/hdc.
Yep,
#mount /dev/hdc -t iso9660 -r /mnt
fails with "no medium", regardless of what CD is in the drive, the drive
never even spins up.
I checked dmesg and the drive is there and correctly identified.
If you can mount the CD-ROM you're good to go - instead of installing
"from CD-ROM", just install from the directory where you mounted the
CD-ROM/slackware.
If for whatever reason you cannot, you could always make two partitions,
make one of them FAT, boot into Mac OS, copy the <CDROM>/slackware
directory from the CD-ROM onto it, then reboot into the installer, mount
the FAT partition and install from there.
Well, I guess I could, this is not getting easier. I wish I had a better
Unix box handy.

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?
Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
