After messages appeares, it immediately gets erased by the install menu. Then, in the majority of cases, the keyboard is frozen and machine has to be rebooted. Note that this behavior happens on two separate IBM ValuePoints. It didn't happen when I booted from this same floppy on my generic P-100 PCI based machine. Jim Mauney jmauney@nr.infi.net (Jim Mauney)
