I have tried to use the install.bat directly from the CD and from a floppy created with makeflp.bat. Both methods hang at the same point. During boot I get the following: Boot: dosdev= 0, biosdrive = 0, unit = 0, maj = 2 Booting 0:fd(0,a)/kernel @ 0x27b000 text=0x112000 data=0x0 bss=0xa00 symbols=[+0x600+0x4+0x270+0x4+0xf6f6f6f2 total=0xf72fd96a entry point=027b000 any suggestions would be appreciated.
