HD Install :: Install locks up

Oh, this is an Omnibook 4100, PII 300mhz Laptop with 64MB of ram. Now its locking up at mouse detection when I boot with the "dsl 1 nosound" option. Fun.

OK, how does

dsl 1 nosound noscsi

work?

And worst case:

dsl 1 nosound nohwsetup

Ok. Nogo still, still locking up...I know your going to tell me to put it in a desktop, but I don't have one to do that with...I would like to do an install from the HD if possible, and not a frugal, I have a 9GB hdd and a 300Mhz cpu, so Speed is the priority...any suggestions?

Actually, I'm out of ideas. I don't know how to disable anything else in this part of the boot process that could help you.

So no way to boot off a cd or floppy and get it to read the install files from the hd? Thanks for your help as well..even if I do end up a windoze user again.
