Hello,

I have previously run Slackware 1.2.0 on my circa 1991 386/25 w/8MB.
Recently I attempted to upgrade to the Slackware 2.3.0 distribution
and was able to install the A and N disk sets. However, when I attempted
to boot from the installed hard drive I get the following message:

BIOS32 extensions required....

And nothing else happens. My boot floppy gives me the same error.
Do any of you have any info or thoughts on this problem?

Thanks
