It did try to boot off of the CD-ROM. However, the lines that the come from the CD boot or from floppies prepared from the CD are: /boot.config: -P keyboard: no WTX loader 1.00; WTX version is 1.01 What am I doing wrong on the installation? Is it something about my hard configuration? Any help would be appreciated. Dan Beatty P.S.
