Thanks to Kevin Rooney for responding.
I apologize for posting the question without enough information. Here
is a description of the 486:
66mhz DX2 Intel 486 (Dell)
16MB RAM
SCSI controller Adaptec 1542B
two SCSI hard drives, the first with ATT UNIX (Dell) and DOS,
the second, running only RHL4.2, (for several years) is ~1GB
SCSI CDROM
SCSI DC6250 tape drive for backups
three-way boot originally, but now lilo can't get me to ATT UNIX;
I don't know why; this happened when I had problems and did a
RHL4.2 re-install.
I want to install a more recent RHL, and was planning on 5.1 or 5.2.
If this system would run 6.2, I would install that instead.
The problem is that the only images (dd'd to floppies from CD's) that
will boot me into the installation process are those on the 4.2 CD's.
Those from 5.1 and 5.2 stall out without diagnostics. The 5.1 and 5.2
images will boot me into installation on my Pentium II, so I don't
think the floppies are bad. The first floppy, the boot.img floppy, is
the one that stalls. I haven't yet gotten 6.2, so I don't know if its
images would work ....
Thanks again,
