I am getting a recurring error when trying to run the install from the boot floppies. I have tried several disks, so I know they are good. I suspect that the floppy drive itself may be bad. The error I'm getting follows: *** Soft Error - Error #10 - FDC: Data overrun or underrun Diagnostic Name ID Device Pass Test Hard/Soft 20-APR-2020 boot 00000020 err_iob 0 0 0 22 14:55:24 *** End of Error *** This repeats several times then asks for the mfs disk. The same error repeats during the read of the mfs disk and then I get dumped back out at the prompt. Am I correct that it should begin the installation there or am I supposed to type something here to start the install?
