My boot floppy gives me the same error. >Do any of you have any info or thoughts on this problem? Didn't get any responses that solved the problem other than upgrade your processor and motherboard but I did solve the problem. It seems that I took the easy way out when installing the A disk set. I told it to install everything and it did. I shouldn't have told it to install the SCSI kernel on the A disks and the second time around installing I didn't install this kernel and everything is working well. Thanks Bert Robbins
