Can't get there
>Description:
The problem is pretty succinct.  Please see above.  I'd be happy to perform
additional tests if that would help.  I also did a complete hardware
diagnostic plus install of another OS to try to ensure the gear
wasn't acting up.
>How-To-Repeat:
I've repeated this 12 times.  I'm using an Intel Altserver (Dual CPU capable) with
one CPU installed.  Wide SCSI controller is adaptec 7870.  Ethernet card
is Intel etherexpress 100 pro.  I do the install from floppy images and ftp download.
Everything works fine until standard install is complete and it's time to reboot.
I pop the floppy and when the box reboots it ends up with
"Missing operating system message".
