You mean the "tecra" boot floppy? I remember that too. I had to
use them to get hamm installed on a completely non-Toshiba system
once. But that was because the "normal" boot floppy kernel hung,
wasn't it?
Anyway, the situation I have now looks odd to me. I tell the BIOS
to boot CD, HDD in that order. If I put the 2.2r0 CD in the
drive, it boots. If I put the 2.2r3 CD in the drive, it's ignored
(or tried and found wanting I guess) and the system boots from
the hard disk. And I have two other computers here that boot fine
from the 2.2r3 CD.
Still curious,
Tony
