installation boot fails with standard bootdisk on 486SX/33

[Michael_Laing@Harvard.edu]

Installation fails on this old machine shortly after hitting return at the
'Boot Parameters' prompt using the standard bootdisk. Linux 1.2.13 runs fine.

I suspect (based upon bug reports) that APM is enabled in the kernel on the
standard bootdisk and that this is the problem.

I propose to install on another machine and create a custom bootdisk for this
old (but useful) dog.

Does anyone have any pointers or is there a suitable bootdisk image somewhere I
can use? I am installing from the August Pacific HiTech CD and have internet
access.

Thanks,
Michael Laing
