Custom kernels, etc., are not a problem. If it's a standard IBM machine, you'll need to use PCVT in the boot kernel. Then, you need to install a PCVT kernel on the box since the stock kernel installed uses syscons. I tried to get a bootable IBM floppy made, but my laptop died with a dead battery and I haven't had a chance to get one made. If your friend isn't in any hurry I'll be able to help him out in a couple weeks. Nate
