Hello all; I got my machine yesterday, and have installed lotsa stuff
onto it (I put mcc-interim 0.95c+ on, am using a 0.96a kernel, and
have emacs, perl, gcc/g++, etc.).
The next thing I'd like to do is install shoelace to boot off my hd.
I did the test-laceup on a floppy and booted from that. The WiniBoot
menu came up just fine, and displayed my correct partition table, but
after the prompt timed out, the floppy went nuts: it said "Non-System
Disk or Disk Error" with constant grind/seeking. Only the Big Red
Button (well, okay, the Big Beige Button :->) could help.
I couldn't find any help for this in the FAQ or in the mcc-interim
README files. Anybody know what I need to do to fix this?
Thanks in advance for any clues, and thanks to Linus and everyone who
is helping with FAQ's, Beginners' Guides, etc. This is the first
problem I had that wasn't covered!
