My installation of this product on my 486 pc is not progressing. A brief description of the target system is as follows: - Intel 486 / 33 MHz CPU - 8 Mb RAM - Boca IDE controller - 2 IDE 1.2 Gb Hard Disks (Maxtor) - Adaptec SCSI controller - 1 SCSI 200 Mb Hard Disk (Maxtor) - 1 Toshiba CDROM drive - Sound Blaster Pro Sound Card w/panasonic CDROM drive Preferably I would like to use the entire 2nd IDE hard disk for BSD Unix, the first occupied by DOS. The install goes fine until I accept to 'Proceed'. Within a minute, an error occurs and bounces me out of the install. The following is the error message that is reported: 1) Install (using standard install) Exec (/stand/newfs)failed, code = 9216 Progress write error : 204543 wtfs : Input/Output error 2) Install (using 'fix') Exec (/stand/newfs)failed, code = 8 Progress ** /dev/rwd0g BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG PS: Can the dual boot support 3 Operating systems? I would like to use my 3rd (SCSI) hard drive for OS2. If this can be accomplished, could you explain this procedure.
