When booting with the boot floppy I get the following:
............................
rootfs is 1000 Kbyte compiled in MFS
/stand/sysinstall running as init
panic: page fault

syncing disks...done
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key to abort

The floppy is not at fault because I get the full menu on another
computer with the same floppy.  Any idea what might cause this?
Many thanks from a former Linux.
