apus-lp-ramdisk.image000119.gz

Fixed the problems caused by unknown partition types.  Unknown
partition types are shown in the "0x????????" format.

Note that the unknown partition types can have non-system mount
points created by the installer.  Why ?  Because it seemed a good
idea at the time - now not so sure.

No atari keymaps anymore, more amiga maps by
"Nicholai Benalal" <nicholai@altavista.net>

Please ensure that you can boot the test "ramdisk.image.gz" from
linux-apus.sourceforge.net and that you can mount and access the
hardisk or cd containing your RPMS.

Typical mount commands would be :

	mount -t affs /dev/hda1 /mnt

	mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt 

LinuxPPC 1999 install ramdisk image "apus-lp-ramdisk.image000119.gz"
created from sources on the 1st LinuxPPC 1999 CD and libfdisk from
m68k 5.2 beta on sunsite auc.dk

Some kernel options on the boot command line are reported as 
unknown when linux starts - ignore them (the installer extracts
them from /proc/cmdline).
  
Don't do the X config, it falls over because it doesen't recognize
what's in /etc/sysconfig/mouse, it expects to see "busmouse" not "bm"

Suggest try running Xconfigurator when you have installed the correct
XF68_FBDev* and link to it.

And copy System.Map to /boot when you reboot to avoid many startup
warnings. 

A write to the 'blue' screen still occurs :

     'No valid RDB found'

if no RDB on a disk.
