With the boot floppy rawritten from the CD) the system probes all of the devices like it should and then the screen goes blank except for a message "panic: panic for historical reasons" and the system reboots. I have already tried disabling all drivers except the absolutely essential ones. I can not go back and read the device probing messages because the scroll-lock key does not appear to work in this case. The system is a Dell D/33 with a 486 DX4/100 Overdrive. Two hard-drives and an aic SCSI card with a Sony CD-ROM drive. 24MB RAM. Hints anyone? --Matt
