Open system with PI200Mhz intel chipset, 2940 scsi with seagate 2Gb and Maxtor1.2Gb, Matrox Millenium, USR 56K, 3Com Ethernet, toshiba 24x CDRom (Bootable), .... 96Mb ram and can't think in what else to tell you other than the machine boots to the CDrom and I just follow the instructions until it ask where to install from and when I select the cdrom it returns to the same question install from... and the choices..... > One other user has reported some serious problems with a delay waiting for > the IDE devices to time out, this appeared to be a problem with his > main board, we pretty well narrowed it down to that, but > unfortunately, we couldn't fix it, Walter:....

Hey guys I do not mean to be a hard ass but just think for a minute, if you install mandrake and solaris and they go in just fine or without hasels then what are you going to think.... Well, I got to thank you all and hope that we can crack this thing I rather support people like OpenBSD than Solaris but thats just my personal thing lets kick this bug or whatever that it might be and move on with bigger and better issues.... |
