I think it works if you can make an installer disk with a kernel that dosn't know about Pentiums. I am trying to do this at this very moment. In fact I have a message to questions postponed asking how to do it :-) I got some help from jkh on IRC but still cant do it (I know its probably obvious). Does someone have step by step instructions on how to od this? I tried using /usr/src/release/doFS.sh but found that the system didn't like disklabel a vn0 device with a boot record. I cant actually do it to a floppy as i dont have access to the floppy drive. Once i get it going I will use dd, ftp it to a DOS box...there must be one somewhere...and use rawrite. Thanks, Andrew
