I couldn't get the bootmanager to boot from the AHA, probably because it doesn't have a bios. (It works nicely during the install as a aic (as far as I remember; the 2. Adaptec in the install-menu)) So I tried putting the root on the 2. IDE, a 700k drive, which I donīt use LBA on, so only the 1. 500k or so is used for DOS, the rest was empty. But this didnīt work either. The bootmanager tried to boot from the 2. disk, but responded (approx) Error loading operating system. Can I somehow boot from dos? Can I make a bootfloppy if I want to move the scsi and controller to a seperate machine? Leif Neland work: leif@roskildebc.dk Systemadministrator private: leifn@roskildebc.dk Roskilde Business College
