Re: Slacko 7 32-bit boot failure
rcrsn51 and mikeslr:

Re: Slacko 7 32-bit boot failure
Thanks for staying on this, BigPup.
YES, the Slacko 7 boot pauses at the 60-second wait prompt because it cannot mount something or cannot find something. If I wait the 60 seconds, it has either (1)hung and cannot proceed or accept CLI commands, OR (2) it tries to continue and fails, with a message ...
