I'm a Newbie, can some one please advise me, or point me to documentation.
I'm trying to boot a Pentium II Inspiron laptop from floppies

The Boot loader halts after the ten second delay, and into the start of the
second stage. after this line is printed to screen:


ss:eip=de 7d .........line of Hex 
           second line of Hex	
BTX halted

I've tried using:
      set hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"
 as suggested in Installion text, but to no avail.

Thanks

Tom
