When I boot from an install floppy, I make suitable changes to the kernal config using the menu based screen and press {q} to quit. I am asked to save, I press {y} and the system crashes. I have tried three different floppy disks and three different computers. I have removed all 'fancy' hardware and am left with : 486dx66 with 8 meg ram, Tsung ET4000 VLB video and generic hard disk / floppy disk controller. It still crashes ! (Either freezes or reboots after 2 minutes or so) What am I doing wrong ???? When the conf is saved, is it saved to the floppy or to the ram based file system ?
