There is something strange about the MCC Interim Release 0.97p2.
I had installed this 2 monthes ago using 5 1/4 as my drive
A (and having rawritten to drive A of course). Everything worked out
great. No problems whatsoever.
I have since deleted it from my HD by mistake, but want to reinstall it
using 3 1/2 drive as drive A (since OS/2 made me reconfigure the
cabless). However, I'm having much difficulty installing it
now. Everything is set up exactly the same was as before, except
that the floppy drives have been switched around.
Now, when the boot floppy is booting, it gives an
"unexpected floppy error". While install_boot is running,
there are many errors, and even a segmentation fault!!! Wow.
The install program does end with about 20 errors. So my
next step is, "ah ignore the errors, and create the boot floppy."
The only problem is, there is no Image file in /root/etc. Sigh.
I've tried installing it about 6 times now, with no success. I do
not believe there is anything wrong with what I am doing, since I'm
doing exactly the same procedure and steps as I did when I installed
it several times with the 5 1/4 floppy as drive A.
Does anyone know if this is an inherent problem with this MCC release?
