I just installed a new hard drive and bought an ide controller card that also had a floppy controller, two com ports, a game port, and the parallel port on it. I'm trying to install off of floppies, and I used unix to write the boot4.flp image onto a disk. When I boot the disk, I get the boot: prompt, and I tried typing a '-c' to avoid the error reported by the install, but after uncompressing the kernel, it stops the install right away, reports 'panic: EISA I/O error automatic system reset in 15 seconds. hit key on console to abort.' So I never even get to the config> prompt. any ideas? -- marc "no, i can't see tomorrow. when i close my eyes, ... there is no tomorrow. my kingdom's of no...use. of no...use." 242
