Typing anything at the Boot rompt, brings up, "Can't find = Kernel".I have downloaded fdimage.exe, & all 66 bin.xx files, plus = boot.flp. I have created the boot floppy, and put 5 bin.xx files into a = A:\bin directory.( All bin.xx files occupy 13 disks). My computer is a 486DX/100, with 8 meg of ram.
