Cannot boot from hard drive
I am a first time user of Linux, and decided it would be nice to use the
OS to try to save my old 386/33 (to some extent). I downloaded the system
from the web, made the installation floppies, and seemed to have gotten
Linux installed okay. However, when I tried to boot from the hard drive,
it came up with a prompt: "1FA: ". Nothing is echoed to the screen from
the keyboard, but if I hit ENTER, it comes up with another 1FA: prompt.
It boots fine from the BOOT floppy I made, and sees the info on the hard
drive. Thinking it was a problem with the HD, I reinstalled DOS and it
booted fine. Has anyone else run into this or heard of it? How can I fix
it? It takes a LONG time to boot off of the floppy, and I'd rather not
have the hassle.
Thanks for your help!
