Message-ID: <19980503041751.BB9ObtbfhqvhHPH001LEAELZEYMbuP9RBP3jjKgJVu8@z> (raw)

it's likely that the disc is too big. there was a sign-extension problem
in the original release limiting its understanding to <2GB ide drives.
if you can't replace with a smaller drive then perhaps we can find someone 
out there with a fixed bootstrap programme and kernel to get you under way.
