It booted well, read the root drive, asked for a driver diskette. I put the "net-drivers" diskette and it went pretty well until it started configuring PCI (or CardBus, I don't remember exactly) and stucked at 93% (as I remember). No PCMCIA card was inserted in the machine. I had the exactly same experience about a month ago where I tried to boot from floppy and install from a USB driver. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
