Thanks for the quick answer. Dmesg provided this info. about my hard drive... hde: Quantum Fireball ST3.2A, 3079MB w/81kB Cache, CHS=6256,16,63, UDMA Partition check: hde: [PTBL] [782/128/63] hde1 hde2 , < hde5 > hde3 RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 I added "hd=6256,16,63" to install.bat, but it made no difference.
