Problematically, seems to be a ``double fault'' or so which will
cause the CPU to reset immediately (or a trap without any interrupt
descriptor table). Try ``un-turboing''  your board if you can.
Else??? Play with wait states, bus timing options of your chipset
or such.
btw: As i experienced, currently all the disk drives should be used
in non-translating modi! Don't care for tracks which are out of the
reach for ROM-BIOS/DOS, this doesn't matter. If you wanna run DOS, too,
place it onto the first tracks.
