Hmm. Some things to think about trying: -- At the "2AF:" prompt, does pressing "2" have any effect? -- Does pressing "A", then "1" at the resulting "1234F:" prompt? (It should boot off the FAT16 partition on /dev/sda1, presumably getting you DOS of some sort.) -- Does pressing "F" there boot the floppy successfully? (Hey, this is everything the Debian MBR does, it couldn't hurt to check that it works. :-) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mit.edu/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
