Right guys... i need help with something with this Slackware 9 installation. When proceeding to install the bare.i kernel without a bootdisk (i really need to get a new floppy drive) but anywho .. i end up getting an error while it is trying to load something.

Code:

 Disk Error 80, AX = 4 23D, Drive 9F

Now I tried searching google, and couldn't find squat. hopefully someone may have an answer for me, or am i doomed to be stuck with RH and Mdk! noo0o0o0ooo!!

Having googled this error message, the only thing which remotly relates it a bios problem, and it was advised to flash the bios (upgrade it).

you can update the Bios? i have an ancient looking one from back in the day. how exactly would one go about doing that?

yea ... i figured it was something now about slackware either after going back to google ( http://www.google.com/linux ) and doing another search, cause people were saying similiar things about their harddrives and what not, even though i couldn't understand half of it.
