If it's a ThinkPad, : try using the "Tecra" disk images. You shouldn't need to use the : `floppy=thinkpad' option on the more recent ThinkPads.
On very recent Thinkpads (a 380Z I just got Thursday) the tecra boot disk causes a "A20 gating failed" error on boot. The normal rescue disk image just just the looping reboot we're used to :) I haven't yet had time to investigate this further. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9)
