Arrrrrrrrrrrrgh! I can't seem to make it through the install for the life of me. I see spontaneous reboots and lockups. It looks to be the same sickness I see on my diskless P90 box at work. System: wye.sol.net, 486DX4/100, 8MB RAM, 3c503 Ethernet, CGA monitor and keyboard (since it doesn't seem to have the serial bootblocks and stuff installed on boot.flp). Install: via NFS or FTP from hummin.sol.net (wye is not Internet-visible). It seems to have severe problems if I do not manage to get all the options JUST right on the first attempt. And that's hard, because it's only somewhat forgiving if you make a mistake, and it really still doesn't give you any clues as to what went wrong. The one time it really looked like it was gonna work, I got about 80% of the way through bin, and then it locked and the speaker started a continuous tone. This system has been running SNAP-04whatever95 and before that, 2.0R and 2.0-02whatever95. Works fine. This is most definitely NOT the fun project I had envisioned for this afternoon. :-( ...
