However, you must have at least 100mb of UNALLOCATED disk space. You may want to use the FIPS utility (on the CD or ftp site in tools) to split out some of the free space on your FAT partition. > 2.

You'll be stuck typing sd(0,a)/kernel with a boot disk until you get one of the multi-system boot utilities (OS-BS & booteasy are on the CD, others [such as System Commander] are available commerically).
