Hardware Configuration

Cinch will now ask what device you want to load additional drivers from the cdrom or floppy drive. The choice is generally dictated by the method used to start the install, but allowing for either at this point provides more flexibilty.

The menu looks like this:

  => 1. cdrom
     2. floppy
     3. back to main menu

  [1] >

If the installation was started by booting from the cdrom drive, choose number 1 ("cdrom") and cinch will try to load drivers from the CDROM device.

If successful, the screen will be cleared and a message will be displayed:

  Hardware probe complete! The following devices were configured:

    eth0: "Advanced Micro Devices [AMD]|79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE]"

and goes on to explain what to do if you have a device that is not listed. At the bottom should be:

  Press [ENTER] to continue...

so follow those instructions to go back to the "stage1 main menu".
