cant get that far
>Description:
Attempting to install 3.2 from CD on new Toshiba Tecra 8000.
Unable to get past UserConfig without machine refusing to accept
keystrokes.

Neither Tecra 780 nor Tecra 8000 will boot from the CD.
Compaq Laptop will boot from CD.
Tecra 780 does not exhibit this problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
Tecra 8000 with 366MHz Pentium II, 256MB RAM

Boot using floppy boot.flp
Switch to mfsroot floppy.
Press enter to boot
Press down arrow twice and the return to enter CLI
Attempt to type "flags npx0 1" per troubleshooting advice re: i586_copyin/out
Machine hangs erratically after mfsroot disk is inserted.
Sometimes don't even get Menu.
Once got as far as "qui" of the "quit" to store the change.
VERY Frustrating!


>Fix:
Use a different machine.
Not very helpful when trying to use the Tecra 8000.
