- I have just installed E/Dos on my machine (Usually I run E/Linux, but my
- Zip drive doesn't recongize under linux), and I have noticed the same
- problem, but I'm not sure if it relates to the Zip drive, or if its a
- problem with my CD-ROM (or possible the floppy)...
-
- I had a different solution to the fiasco, though--- I tried all sorts of
- -skipdisk switches but nothing worked, so I tried "-macdrives e" and it
- booted fast. (E is my Zip drive.)
