I am a first time user of Linux, and decided it would be nice to use the OS to try to save my old 386/33 (to some extent). I downloaded the system from the web, made the installation floppies, and seemed to have gotten Linux installed okay. However, when I tried to boot from the hard drive, it came up with a prompt: "1FA: ". Nothing is echoed to the screen from the keyboard, but if I hit ENTER, it comes up with another 1FA: prompt.
It boots fine from the BOOT floppy I made, and sees the info on the hard drive. Thinking it was a problem with the HD, I reinstalled DOS and it booted fine. Has anyone else run into this or heard of it? How can I fix it? It takes a LONG time to boot off of the floppy, and I'd rather not have the hassle. Thanks for your help! -lennox
