Installation Stalling
Ok here is my basic layout of my system
Cyrix 200
48 megs of ram
TX Pro Motherboard
3.5" Floppy drive
Primary Master hd 120 meg Conner
Secondary Master hd 81 meg
NE 2000 PCI Network card
Some PCI Video card
Yeah, I know the hds are kinda small...anywayz. I put in the
rescue/installation disk and press enter at the prompt.
It Gives me the following Text on the stall:
Memory: 45644k/49152k available (1136 kernel code, 384k reserved, 1300k
data)
This processor honours the WP bit even when in supervisor mode. Good.

Then it does nothing. No disk activity and no response to keyboard. I
have tried rebooting about 3 times. Redownloading the image. Using a
different diskette and using the safe rescue image, but with no avail.
Does anybody know what I should do to be able to finish installing?
Thanks,
Jeff
p.s. Yes, I typed that all out. Fortunately I have another computer
beside it.
