Hi all,

I have an old old pentium, scsi HDD + floppy + CDROM, 16 MB of somewhat  
dubious ram...

I have 5.3R CDs 1 and 2

I have 3 seemingly working floppies (after writing to 6 disks... ofcourse!)

boot goes like this...

boot disk.
kern1
kern2
boot
boot screen with about 8 options, none of which seem to be the  
installation option... then reboots back to floppy...


I do not seem to have a way of getting to sysinstall!!!
