I booted from the 3.2 floppies and installed over the internet. (cable modems are great) I would have installed from the cdrom but it couldnt find it. I tried both controllers as slaves but never as masters, also tried 2 different cdroms both work fine on my other 3.2 machines so its gotta be controller related or cable related although the bios scan detects the cdrom on boot up. Also where can i find any information on this boot blocks thing, I need to understand how the system boots up now that it is way different from 2.2.8 I need to understand the sequence and files associated with booting so i can fix the "no /boot/loader" error i get when booting.
