Hanging on "Scanning for Harddisk partitions and creating /etc/fstab" when trying to install Damn Small Linux
Following a suggestion made before, I'm trying to use UNetbootin to install Damn Small Linux on a Windows computer.
I'd like to reformat the entire HD and install Linux on it. I installed UNetbootin on Windows, set it for a frugal install on the HD, rebooted, started it up in UNetbootin. It seemed to be working ok.
However, the installation keeps hanging on "Scanning for Harddisk partitions and creating /etc/fstab".
What might be the problem?
Solution 1:
At the boot prompt try dsl nofstab
