So it has already found the root f/s. If it's 2.1.5, you can try to add the -v (bootverbose) flag at the boot prompt, and see if you can determine from the additional messages where it hangs. I think it's the point where it is either mounting the root f/s, or starting sysinstall as init. Make sure it's not a hardware (RAM, cache) problem. (Does the same floppy boot on another machine? No, the FPU is not the problem, as you can see, npx0 has been found, and what you entitled ``blah blah'' is probably the message that it's using the FPU emulator.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
