I don't think you are supposed to be sending messages to the list in RTF.
This will cause most peoples messages to be garbled.

> Hi,

> I'm new to the list, and the world of Unix/Linux in general. I
> picked up Macmillan's package for Linux 5 at the local Best Buy, and
> attempted an install for the first time. I created the boot.img and
> supp.img disks as instucted and and got an error message: "Boot
> failure: change disks and press any key". I've been through the list
> archive, and the knowledge base on the WWW page, and have found this
> problem mentioned, but no answers (except, copy the RH CDROM .img
> files to the HD and rawrite.exe them from there...tried it...doesn't
work.)
>
> I'm running WinNT4 Workstation on the same drive with the NTFS
> filesystem (could this be my problem?), on a P133 Intel system, with
> NEC CDR-273 and a Fujistu 2.5 meg IDE harddrive. The partition I
> made for Linux was created with the WinNT partitioning program in the
> setup. That partition is not formated as far as I know.
>
> One interesting aside (or maybe it's somewhere at the root of the
> problem): WinNT/Control Panel/SCSI identifies my HD, CDR and my IDE
> Connor tape drive as SCSI. They are most definitely IDE.
