A Xerxes is made up of a DTK Corp 386 motherboard @ 20MHz. It has a Western Digital Dual floppy/hard drive controller and an 80 meg Seagate ST4096 hard disk. I tried booting v1.3/AT but after inserting the root disk, it said that it wasn't the root disk (but I know it was cuz we tried it on another [8086] computer and it worked fine.) Anyway, could the problem be that it can't boot off of the 1.2Mb 5.25" drive? Help would be *greatly* appreciated. -- ______________________________________________________________________________ Predrag S.
