I have downloaded the 2.2.6-Release files to it as per your 'Preparing for Installation' details. I also have a smaller (300Mb) hard disk on the secondary controller which I want to use for the installation. I boot from the floppy and get through most of the installation, including specifying which drive I want to use and creating the partitions. I then went to the options screen to specify the installation method. I selected MS-DOS partition and it told me that there were none to install from! When I run FDisk from DOS, however, it tells me that it is a primary DOS partition. I would be greatful if you could help.
