Re: Re Linux installation gone wrong.

Looks like you might've forgotten to do the following...

* At the "boot>" prompt, enter: qflash 1 to detect your flashROM size.

        * if the result is '00170017' then you have a 16MB flashROM and you
          need to enter: partition define root 0x100000 0xf00000 16 at the
          "boot>" prompt

        * if the result is '00180018' then you have a 32MB flashROM and you
          need to enter: partition define root 0x100000 0x1f00000 16 at the
          "boot>" prompt

Carefully review http://familiar.handhelds.org/familiar/releases/v0.4/install/H3600/install.html and
make sure you didn't forget anything else. Note that you're not in particular danger of turning
your iPaq into a paperweight at this point, as the bootldr has already been installed.
