I got the smartStart, but it won't let me set up for IDE boot. When I try to |
| 2 |
set-up the BIOS it will let me change most settings but says this system does |
| 3 |
not support IDE HD. Hence I was think ing I would boot on a floppy and have |
| 4 |
it find the kernel and set them machine up to use the HD. It finds the HD |
| 5 |
during boot up but can't boot from it... |
