Unfortunately I never see the boot screen as the machine cannot boot from CD-ROM and I'm using glbf to initialize an NFS install from a boot floppy that boots boot.iso from a VFAT partition.

This is the only variation I have on the installer boot process. > > Alexander > > -- > Alexander Dalloz | Enger, Germany | new address - new key: 0xB366A773 > legal statement: http://www.uni-x.org/legal.html > Fedora GNU/Linux Core 2 (Tettnang) on Athlon kernel 2.6.8-1.521smp > Serendipity 02:05:15 up 20 days, 23:44, load average: 0.30, 0.52, 0.61 > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Name: signature.asc > signature.asc Type: application/pgp-signature > Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bill Somerville
