that you need for your system.

============================================================================
INSTALLING

To boot this release you should use either MILO or SRM. From SRM, boot from
the CD itself into aboot, passing the appropriate arguments. More information
on SRM booting can be found on http://www.redhat.com.

Once MILO has been installed, you can boot this CD as follows:

    boot -t iso9660 scd0:kernels/file.gz root=/dev/scd0

where file.gz is the proper kernel for your machine (see kernels/README
for information) and scd0 is the device name of your CDROM drive.

If you don't have a CD device attached, you must use a bootdisk and
ramdisk, which are available in the images directory. To boot the bootdisk
from the floppy disk, use:

    boot fd0:vmlinux.gz root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=1

and insert the boot disk when requested.
