Hi,
These are my specs as follows:
i486dx2 80 Mhz on a ZIDA 4DPS rev 2.11 with bios up to 1.71,
8 MB RAM,
6gb HDD on primary master
a 32x CDR on secondary master
S3 Virge DX 4MB
The problem is that i cannot boot my new 486 machine. CMOS already flashed.
More specifically, the pc can post, but after that, when i'm going to boot from a bootable floppy disk, the system alts after the PCI device listing with this message "rimuovere supporti. premere un tasto per riavviare" ( yes, i'm italian, that line sounds like "please remove devices. press any key to reboot"
i've tried to create a bootable floppy disk from a lot of images downloaded here and there yet; the bios boot sequence is already set to "a, c"
tried to use other floppy disks, even blank ones.
thinking of a faulty floppy drive, even swapping it with another two of mine gave me the same result.
It appears that the machine won't see the floppy disks as a bootable device.
So i can't fdisk/format my Hdd nor install any OS...
Any ideas?
