Hi,

I am trying to setup a 486 DX2 80 with 4meg ram as a gateway to the net.
Since it is so old, i cannot boot from the cd. I created the floppies,
kern.flp and mfsroot.flp, i boot up first with kern.flp and all goes well.
It then asks me for the mfsroot.flp, it will ask me to push enter to boot
the kernel, i do that. Thats when the problem comes in. It just reboots a
couple of seconds after that. For no apparent reason. It has got a 4gig hdd
in, with some old graphics card.

Anyone have any ideas why it could be rebooting itself (maybee i need more
ram??)

Regards
Ian
