Half of the Boot Manager works. F1 boots win, F5 just gives F5 again, repeatedly. Read the docs, read the FAQ, tried everything: Deliberately reinstalled win to wipe out the boot manager, then in DOS: bootinst.exe boot.bin with success. Have done it the second way: boot install floppy, custom installation, partition, write, MBR, also successul. Same result. Made a fixit floppy: Did disklabel -B /dev/wd0s1 (wd0s1 correct) which returns "Bad pack magic number (label is damaged, or pack is unlabeled)". Any suggestions from anywhere would be greatly appreciated. $ms is in for a final and complete divorce when this box is up and running.
