I'm trying to install 5.4 on a system that currently has 4.10 on it. My 
problem is that when the system boots from the install disk 1 I cannot 
see the initial menu due to a display problem.

I see the initial boot information then the box that should have the 
selection options in, but without the content of the box. The box just 
overwrites the display information, leaves the boot information on the 
screen and I see BSD Daemon to the right of it.

I don't have a floppy drive on the system to attempt a console install 
so I cannot use that solution.

 From memory I didn't have any problems with the 4.10 install, so I 
tried on another PC with the same CD and this displayed the initial menu OK.

Any ideas on what I could do to resolve this?

Thanks,

Jim
