Date: 4 Mar 1996 04:26:38 GMT Organization: Aldan at Newton Upper Falls Lines: 15 Sender: mi@aldan.bu.edu (Mikhail Teterin) Message-ID: <4hdrdu$egh@news.bu.edu> Reply-To: mi@ALDAN.algebra.com NNTP-Posting-Host: ppp-84-4.bu.edu X-Newsreader: knews 0.9.4 I had a hell of a weekend installing and reinstalling things, going through the dissappearence of files[1] (on MSDOS and non-MSDOS partitions), etc, until I noticed deep in the CMOS smth like "Large disk access: DOS/Other". Switching it to "Other" apparently solved the problems... [1] At one point, kernel got lost by the end of install, and I read the witty sarcastic message about "Hard time getting system to boot". He! I had another kernel on the other hard-drive ;) ! -mi -- "Windows for dummies"
