I had switched to an ISA video card for the flash as one website recommeded, but never tried with no card installed. Looks like I also mis-read the Design Guide... I thought it said a graphics adapter was required, but that is only true for the NT installation. > I only ever saw ARC or SRM loaded, so, as always, YMMV. I'll give it another whack. (And then maybe a few more if it doesn't go) I still am interested as to exactly why we can't use something like MILO... PALcode or do we just need someone to bang on it for a while?
