I've got a 486/100 system w/16mb RAM, and 850MB Conner drive (using a
Promise 2300+ EIDE VLB controler).

I can install 2.1.0 just fine (from a DOS Partition), but once
installed and I try to boot from the Hard Drive the system hard locks.

I get the BOOT: prompt, press Enter for default, I get one pipe char
and they system is locked at this point.

Any Suggestionss?
