- Abort the boot procedure with space and type "info" twice at the prompt.
- Then type "begin" to continue the boot procedure.
- The problem is a BIOS incompatibility, your BIOS gives another drives
- table to the boot procedure as expected. The "info" command fixes that
- problem, after the secound input you should read a right drives table.
- Hope that helps.
