I'm trying to install linux to a toshiba libretto l5 (transmeta crusoe TM5800).

I have no cd or floppy, I boot over the network with intel pxe bootrom.. DHCP works, after stripping down the kernel to <512k, the kernel loads too, but I get the following error message:

AX: 0205
BX: 0200
CX: 0020
DX: 0000.
8000

I tryed with the following configurations:
version: 2.4.18, 2.4.17
toshiba laptop support: on/off
pci access mode: direct/bios/both
cpu: 386/crusoe
everything else turned off except for IDE and ext2

What does the error message mean? What should I do to make it boot.

Please CC to my address too.

Well it's trying to read from a floppy that doesn't exist. The read code is from the boot-loader that is usually executed by LILO (wrong boot-code for network booting).
