I had exactly the same problems with 4.x recently; and it turned out that the problem was caused by a bad floppy. dd hat written all the data without reporting errors, but when I tried to boot from the floppy... b00m. Try to read the floppy back on the system where you created it, i.e. dd if=/dev/fd0 of=verify.dat and then compare the md5 checksums of the original .flp file and this file. If they do not match or if dd aborts with an error message, you know where your problems are coming from. /s/Udo -- "The only reasonable alternative we can come up with is to close off the Internet to America Online users until they have passed an entrance test.
