I have download the 2 floppies. I first but the kern.flt and type the command. The station boots slowly. Then the station ask me to put the second floppy. I do it. Then it boot. But it's not first ask me for the kernell as on my i386 but it ask me for the console mode I want to use. I must answered this question by taping 1, 2 , 3, 4 or 5 but the keyboard don't seams to answer. I have tried with both PC keyboard or alpha keyboard it both crash. Could you help me. Shiva P.S. My station don't want to boot on CD. Maybe the CDRom drive is to old for burned CD. But i have a cable connection for the net so if the 2 floppies finish to work, i 'll be happy. thanks.
