Now there's some useful info! I should have enough at 32megs but maybe it
just doesn't like my ram? I dunno, but perhaps there is a way to get the
boot.img split up like you describe, and then maybe it'll work.
I've had both Win98 as ramdrive and tomsrtbt as ramdrive with success,
can't see why redhat won't go. Then too, I had a lot of trouble finding
simms this box would eat, tried a lot of different ones that were all
supposed to be the same, maybe there's still some delicate thing about
them, only enough to affect the redhat boot. Trying the two disk option
makes some sense, how would I do that?
