Hi all, I have an IBM Netvista 1 gig Athlon with that dumbass bios that IBM's have..
It won't boot from the CD-RW (or at least I can't get it to). It fails on cdrom.img and other.img telling me to change disks and continue. So I am at a loss as to how to get 8.1 installed on this thing. So my Questions are thus: 1. How do I specify this thing to boot from the CDROM, I can't find the entry in Bios. 2. I saw something in the list recently about what to do with systems that use shared memory.. but I can't find it, something like: linux memory=(memory - video memory.) 3. Has anyone else got this working on a Netvista? 4. Is there a problem getting 8.1 to boot from the CDRW ?? ie do I need to add another CDROM to get it to read from it??? 5. This thing has a USB keyboard, is that likely to cause a problem? I have the proper MDK8.1 Powerpack disks that have worked fine on other PC's... so its not the disks. Any tips, help or anything else would be much appreciated. If I can't get this thing running 8.1, then I have to load win2000 on it, and I don't want to do that.. rgds Frank
