I tried running every size disk imaginable and I still get the same error and it still states 128KW. The small disk I tried was 159MB. BTW, that prebuilt system also had the same error and 128KW again and it was a approx 10MB Massbus disk running on a 11/45.Could this be a bug? I am following everything to a T. Should I try a non-plus sysgen to see if I get the same error?
