Hello all,
Thanks for helping!
Ok, I tryed dd if=/cdrom/Corel/Boot/boot1440.img of=/dev/fd0
and it worked. I used dd because of a README on the cd -I think
it could be done better- :(.
I wonder that such a mistake in the syntax causes that bad CMOS-crash.
But I will not try it again.
Any thoughts?
regards, Joerg
