Does that mean I should mention that my brand new Pentium-90 system boots
from a Linux boot disc just fine, but just sits and spins trying to boot a
rawriten boot.flp from either the 0210 or 0322 SNAPs? :-(
The only suggestion I've gotten on trying to figure out the problem is to
start disabling things in my BIOS setup to try to dumb things down. I
haven't gotten that far (mostly because I don't know that much about the
various BIOS setup configuration items). I've tried various combinations of
rawrite, rawrite3.zip (v1.3) and 'dd' from Linux to produce the disc. I
think I'm nearly convinced I've the boot disc right (hmmm...maybe I should
try booting a different computer with one). So, it seems like it's gotta be
something in my BIOS setup or particular flavor of some piece of hardware (or
as was suggested - not having summoned the right daemons to haunt my system).
Still out of it in Seattle...
