Hello world,
I'm trying to install 2.1R on a Compaq DeskPro 386/25M with
8MB RAM, an Adaptec SCSI controller, a 500MB hard drive, and
a WD8003 ethernet card. When booting from the boot floppy,
all the hardware seems to be recognized correctly, but the
installation hangs after the last probe (npx0 at 0xf0-0xff
irq 13 on motherboard).
I have successfully installed 2.1R on half a dozen similar
machines, so I'm at a loss as to what could be going wrong
with this particular one.
Any ideas?
Gerhard
