Hi,

I have copied the two install floppies from the 4.0-current release
but am getting errors during booting. The server sort of boots, but it
looks like it is having trouble reading the floppy. The errors look
like: 

	"IDE command not successfully terminated"

	"IDE bad sector encountered or read unsuccessfull"

Do I have a bad floppy drive, or is this release not supported on an
Alpha server 800 (I read in an earlier mailing that is was).

Many thank for any info,

Andrew
