I googled for 'Lilo "no ROM BASIC"' and got quite a few hits.
This is a partition issue. You must have an active primary partition.


Good luck,

Howdy. I have a old laptop (toshiba 420 CDT, p1-100, 40 MB, 20 GB, ) that I
would like to
get working.
I however do not have a boot medium, so I have tried installing various OS's
on a  hard
drive and then transplanting them into the laptop. Under Windows it will not
recognive the
hd as a valid system disk. Under linux I get the following:

"L 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40
40 40 40 40 40
40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40
40 40 40 40 40
40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40
40 40 40 40 40
40 40 40 40 40 40 40This BASIC was aborted,
because this machine has
no ROM BASIC.

Use Toshiba's BASIC"

I have played with lilo untilt the cows came home and started to mew telling
me to ask for
help.
