X-SW-Source: 2003-10/txt/msg00264.txt.bz2 Hi, I wrote last week about my problems creating a floppy boot image, and have fortunately managed to work it out. Apparently, the dd command doesn=B4t like it when you try to output to a network share...either that or use rawrite (thanks, Denis). Anyway, onto the next step of my journey. I attempted to boot through the floppy on a pentium 150, with the floppy set as first in the boot sequence. It appears not to be completing the boot process. I get a series of dots on the screen, then a blinking cursor. After that stops, nothing else happens. I=B4ve tested this box with a Win98 boot floppy, the Windows CDROM, and on the hard drive (which had been freshly formatted before installing 98), and everything boots up normally.=20 I then attempted to boot on a 1.4 GHz Pentium III with thw same floppy, and after a few seconds, I got the RedBoot welcome message on screen. Does anyone know why this would be happening? I=B4d really like to avoid having to use the PIII box, since my wife uses that for her work, and obviously my having Redboot up would take her out of action.
