Like many others I have a boot 
problem.

System has a VLbus IDE controller, 2 
drives.  Primary is 540M and secondary 
380M.  486DX 20M memory.

FDISK says slice is C356 - C1023, 
which puts it under the limit.  Setup 
is 697 cylinders of 1053.

Boot message displays then |.

Tried loading to second hard drive and 
using hd1,a with same results.

This system was running UNIXware 1.1.4
with both drives.  Deleted NON DOS 
partition and loaded 2.0.

Floppy runs fine, no other errors.

No diagnostics why it can't boot, 
after all it starts the fails.  No
bootmanager in use.  Tried bootmanager
and results were the same

Tips?  Pointer to FAQ?  None seem to 
apply to the problems currently 
occurring.
