Hello all;

I have just downloaded and created the floppy image as per the doco, however when it boots I get the following:

NASLite............

1000
AX:0215
BX:1A00
CX:0301
DX:0100

The last five lines just keep repeating themselves and then nothing happens. Has anyone seen this before???

Hardware is a P133 with 64MB RAM, 2GB HDD (to test the software).

Thanks

Could be a number of things as follows:

Bad, dirty or misaligned floppy drive.
Incompatible or misconfigured BIOS (unable to boot 1.72M floppy)
Bad floppy disk.

Assuming the BIOS is set correctly, i'd clean the drive and try another floppy.

It was actually the floppy image. Funny thing is that I have made 3 disks exactly the same and two gave me the same problem. The third one worked.

I really like NASLite. It rocks!!!!!

Cheers

Having the same exact issue. But I think it's the floppy drive, because the disk worked in another machine. I looked in the BIOS, and there's no actual option to set the floppy drive to 1.72, only 1.44 and 2.08 (or something like that - I would check but that requires me going down 3 flights of stairs to the basement). I tried both, and neither worked. Should I just give up with that machine, or is there something I'm missing?
