RE: Boot disk - Loading Boot failed

["VANPOECK Steven (MLN)" <SVANPOECK@focal.fr>]

For what it's worth:

I had a similar problem on several occasions, and each time the problem
was due to the fact I used a already-used-and-reformatted floppy with
rawrite.

In all cases, using a brand new, never-before-used floppy did the trick
and the install procedure worked fine.


Hope this helps !
