I have a computer with a Pentium 1 CPU on 200Mhz, and 64mb Ram-memory.

Im trying to boot up from the CD that i burned with M0n0wall on it and an empty diskett that is formated with FAT. Everything goes on until it says:

Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c

Then the computer freezes... Huh

I have Wan and Lan connected. No harddrive connected.
Whats the problem?

Btw, Im using the lastest version of M0n0wall.

I have a similiar problem. My computer refuses to boot from the CF. If I enter the wrong (yes, wrong) settings for heads, cylinders and sectors in BIOS m0n0 boots and then stops and complains about missing config.xml.
If I set it to auto the system just stops after detecting the CF. It doesn't hang (I can enter BIOS settings), just stops. If I connect the CF to an PCI IDE-controller it gets detected but the computer refuses to recognize it as a SCSI-card and doesn't boot anyway.
I know this is a problem with the computer being old as shit, but isn't there any workaround?
