I've had the same problem. If I try to boot to a Win98 Command prompt from a floppy it hangs right before the prompt would come up (but after processing config.sys and at least part of autoexec.bat). I don't know what the cause is, and I haven't found a fix, but there are workarounds. The most convenient one is to boot from a CD. If you don't have a suitable CD and don't know how to make one, e-mail me off the list. If you are desperate and have a lot of time on your hands you should be able to boot to a command prompt from a "real" partition on your hard drive if such a partition exists and has the boot files on it. I'd love to find out why the floppy boot fails, though. JN To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
