Devices are seen correctly during bootup, no problem there. Created the boot floppy (created via rawrite.exe whilst booting DOS ..) What happens then is that the boot message comes, it starts loading the kernel and then everything dies: 2 times message saying uncompressing kernel, then a number of crc errors and then the killer: system halted. The same boot floppy was used on another machine without any problem. Reading the FAQs I could find and INSTALL.TXT and HARDWARE.TXT; no solutions found. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks in advance, Piet Honkoop
