I have a Pentium 150 w/an Endeavor II motherboard and a 1 GB EIDE HDD. I got boot floppies for a variety of flavors of Unix, including Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and AIX. None of the floppies would boot. In every case, the computer would look in the floppy drive for a bootable disk, and then give up and try to boot my hard disk, which has no OS as of yet. I would appreciate any help that anyone could give me. Thanks in advance. -- Sridhar Ayengar sa7171@cnsvax.albany.edu http://h25.schuyler.albany.edu Team OS/2!
