Brooks,

Sorry for not being more specific. I am trying to install 5.3 Release 
over the net. When I boot from the boot floppy to do the setup one of 
the first things I see on the screen BIOS drive c: =disk1. I'm not sure 
if a controller or hard drive is showing in dmesg since it moves by so 
fast, and it isn't being created anywhere.

Jerry
