Woof alpha 8

This is for bugs in a version of Puppy 5.x that is still under development. If you have bugs for a released version of Puppy, please post them in the forum's main Bugs section, not here. Bugs are when a program does not function as intended. Usability issues are not bugs.

No installation whatsoever. Boot from CD.
At the 5 second prompt type puppy pmedia=cd
Maybe this helps.
nope... :(
also tried with pfix=ram and pfix=copy combinations; boot debug also didnt show anything helpful.
downloading alpha-9 right now, but i suppose that won't change much.

In the context of a pfix=ram boot, the message 'Searching fo Puppy files in computer disk drives...' strikes me as a bit odd.

Is there a way to mount the cdrom on that console?
Tried mounting via /dev/hd... and /dev/scd0

ok, woof alpha 9 didn't help; but maybe I have a bigger problem on that machine;
seems like >4.1 only works with the retro kernel.

thanks for the help so far, you are great :)
4.2.1 retro freezes my keyboard though, so i'll try to fix that first and after that reopen my woof issues in the to-be-current woof thread

update: reopened at: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 2&start=45

if somebody could comment on these, i would be glad:
