Mike, The first error is the same I experienced with the 9/23 -9/27 beta's. When I asked about it last week, Jordon responded that the install from DOS was not yet supported on the boot floppies I used. I'm not sure if this was ever enabled. I worked around it by moving the dist to another machine and doing an FTP install from there. The second problem sounds like the driver parameters may be getting set differently between the two machines. I experienced a very similar problem a few years back when the write precomp was set to 0 (per the label on the disk) on the PC I installed in, and set to ??? (can't remember exactly) when auto-detected in the destination PC. I could boot from a DOS floppy and see the data, but couldn't boot or actually read the data IIRC. Just an idea... MO!
