Did the boot.flp boot and did you get to the install menu? You can try to disable as many devices as necessary down to a minimum (like your hard disk and network card, cdrom or whatever you need) by typing /kernel -c possibly one of the card probes is confusing some of your devices. Also some probes (wd) take a while before timing out. So tell us what exactly happens. > > Thanks, > Frank D. Rosa > Francisco_Rosa@vval.com > > > > --Chris Christoph P. U.
