Well, it looks like I'm stuck. Both Warp Connect and NT
go to a gray screen after the first reboot during the install.
It looks like the autosense routines are touching something
they shouldn't be. I hooked up a Sony multisync monitor to
verify that it lost sync at this time as well. :-(
FYI, to install NT 3.51 using only the CDROM drive, there is a
switch in the \i386\winnt.exe program that will copy all the files
to a temporary area on your hard drive and reboot and do
the install. I just wish that Microsoft had accepted OS/2's
Boot Manager as being better because it doesn't require
the OS to be on primary partitions. The way I have it set up
currently is that it goes to Boot Manager, then to the NT
boot menu, then to Win95. Oh well, I digress...this doesn't
work...
If anyone has contacts inside IBM or Microsoft that would
know how to install their advanced operating systems on
this too advanced beast, I'd appreciate a referral :-)
