Mr. Frank: It looks like the system is waiting for input. Type in the following at the keystroke prompt: link ide=nodma and press the Enter key. This should start your installation.

Is there some kind of visual feedback during installation? All I have is a blue screen with a welcome message at the top and a keystroke menu along the bottom. The CD reader has been busy off & on for 10-15 minutes now but nothing seems to be happening. If this is not unusual, I gotta say a little visual feedback would be helpful.... -- Douglas Frank HP Co. 110 Spit Brook Rd.
