You should have the following file on the diskette :
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 29361 Dec 8 20:46 boot.msg
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 866 Dec 2 16:23 help.msg
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 108 Dec 23 12:00 ks.cfg
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 6776 Dec 8 20:46 ldlinux.sys
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 908357 Dec 23 12:00 network.rdz
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 450 Dec 23 12:00 syslinux.cfg
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 498696 Dec 23 12:00 vmlinuz
You should see a "boot:" prompt, if not try to press enter key directly
or wait for the system to go on (about 7 seconds of timeout)
If it still fails, you can try modifying the syslinux.cfg file on the
diskette by removing the line "mode 0x101", save and reboot, you should
get a text only boot as before.
