Install from HD

[bards1888]

I tried this a few times last night, I have an intel 845 based motherboard with standard IDE interface and drives yet when I select "Install from Harddrive" it says it cannot find any hard disks, even though they were mentioned in the boot messages. It's a real pity there is no 'shell window' during the install to allow me to try and modprobe etc

Anyone else experience this ?

i encountered the same thing,too.
And there were types of hard-disk to choose.But I tried every one to find that no one fit.Someone said if you burn the first .iso into CD-Rom, then you can succed. I don't know if this works, but I'm thinking of burn 4.

It is possible a driver disk will help you. In the images/ directory on CD1 there is a drvblock.img floppy image. Copy that to a floppy using these instructions (https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/install-guide/ch-driverdisk.html).

I think you can switch virtual terminals while installing with <Ctrl><Alt><F1> through <F2>. Try console 2.

I hope you can get CDs or something if that doesn't work.

weird, the same drivers are on the boot.iso and the kernel can't find the appropriate one from drvblock.img.
