The machine is... i486/33 16 Megs ram IDE control with 2 400 Meg drives SCSI adaptec 1542, 766 Meg Mitsumi single speed CDROM Sound Blaster 5 1/4 and 3 1/2 floppies Hercules SVGA video 1 Meg ram The installation seems to go well up until the end. I get to the point of the post-config. It doesn't seem to set up the boot manager. When I reboot there isn't a boot manager installed. Is there some way to boot from floppy? Is there some way to exit the installation program and remain booted? I could them find the kernel and dump it to floppy. Thanks Warren
