This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0001_01BEDA10.5D0827A0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have (I think) installed successfully on my laptop. But during several installs I cannot mount my DOS partition to access the SRC and BIN files. Now that I have finally made it all the way through a minimum install, when I boot it can't find the kernel and I am left with a simple prompt boot: Any command I enter it tells me NO if I "?" then it lists my directories but I cannot get to them. Any help would be great. How do I set up the floppies for install? And is the boot: prompt a system level or did the last install bomb out?
