Framebuffer is the graphics console that is on before X is started. A pure 
text console does not work. If you have /dev/fb0 it should work.

If the installation was OK than LNO should work too. Looks like your disk is 
FAT formated. If you don't need the data on that partition you can format it 
with "Linux.OpenDisk oberon.dsk" and "Partitions.Format 
oberon.dsk#0 AosFS 0~" Or you can create a new file with "Linux.MakeDisk 
oberon.dsk 64" (for 64MB size) and than executing the two commands above.

I sent the documentation how LNO was created to Pieter and Edgar. If someone 
else is interested let me know.

I won't invest in WinAos because I don't have Windows :-)
