There were minor problems at the end of the installation, but the system was all right. I tried to install the same system on 386SX (Megatrend BIOS dated 05/05/91) with ESDI drive. The system hung when I booted up with the boot disk with DIST.FS on and the A: drive light was on forever. I've tried to install the system on a 286pc which I knew that won't work. The same thing happened. Does this mean that the system cannot be installed on 386SX or ESDI drive? If it is because of the harddrive, can I patch the boot disk to make it work with the ESDI drive and how? Thank you. My internet address is: JCHIN@AURORA.CONNAUGHT.COM.
