Dear troubleshooters I am posting this question for the 2nd time now, since it is 1 week since the first time but no reply yet (apologies if that is in fact normal, not familiar yet with delay to expect). Was attempting an install from DOS partition, as per instructions, ad everything seemed to be going fine. the system is a fast (if the word can be used in this context) 486dx with standard (if the word ever really applies) PCI bus / IDE hdd ports. the install routine after the first floppy boot seemed to be running normally, but when it came to transferring the system files from the dos partition, after the various configuration / slice allocation screens, the app came back with an error message, saying "You will have problems booting from this hard-drive". The message appeared some 20 seconds or so after the routine appeared to begin copying over the system (or attempting to at least). I am really not sure what to do next, since I was fairly sure I had set all the options correctly and done the right setup work beforehand, and the guides I downloaded with the release 3.3 dist. dont seem to cover the problem.
