I'm hopeless :-/ Well, Id use systinstall to write the boot sector myself so I cant comment on how you wrote it, but the beep I have seen before. I've seen this on Compaq's - mine does it. I found that the solution was to always leave the machine turned off for at least 5 seconds, and not to touch any keys until you get the F1-F4 options then the key should work. Dont do anythign like hiting escape to skip the memory test - that is a dead cert to make it do the beeping thing. It bugged the hell out of me for a long time - I still get caught by it when I reboot the machine (which is rarely) hope this helps, -pcf.
