I have a PIII 500 IDE system running win98, and
when I boot from the floppies, the computer just
goes to a blank screen and does nothing.  I watch
the bios count the memory and then it goes to a
blank screen.  I don't get a non system disk error
and it appears as though the computer starts to
read the floppy but only for a couple of seconds.
I have used fdimage to image kern.flp and
mfsroot.flp onto the floppies several times.  I
have also reread the guide and redownloaded the
files.  I don't know if the problem is in the fact
that I have a Compaq system or if it is because it
is all IDE.  Would the problem lie in that I have
two hard drives?  I was hoping to dual boot but I
can't even get the system to boot.  I would
appreciate any comments.
