If the message appears before 'LILO' message, it's related to MBR program.
Check the docs, I as far as I remember the info is there.
Hope that's useful, David.
Hello Shaul! At the end, I used XFree86 3.3.6 and it runs perfectly. Don't
understand or interested in knowing the drivers stuff in NVIDIA page that
wanted XF 4.0. Thank you for your help.
Best,
Ignasi
