When you are given a chance to enter the boot options, enter wd(1,a)/kernel That should get you in the first time. So that you do not have to enter that each time add it to your boot.config file. /boot.config It should be the first and only line. I am fairly sure that is correct. I use SCSI instead of IDE, so I am not 100% sure.
