Hi, I posted this in current, but got no reply. Can anyone help? TIA I downloaded Jan 2nd Current, made the floppies, and tried to boot a box with a DAC-960PL installed. The system hung as soon as it started to read from floppy. Rebooted, turned off the BIOS on the Mylex, system booted OK. Installed directly to the Mylex, and it all came to a halt with "Tried to write beyond end of drive" errors, which I am assuming is a geometry issue. Any ideas, short of booting from a separate disk? PS - The BIOS on the Mylex is Current.
