Similar problems here:
1. Boot failure message when trying to boot from the workstation diskette .
2. I got a Turbolinux Server 6.0.2 screen when using the diskette created
from the server CD but after <enter>, I got "Loading" and immediately
"Boot failed: please change disks........"
All in all I have a rather negative impression of the products. On the
other hand, the evaluation didn't require much time.
