installed from a beos r5 pro bootcd.
initializes fine, installs fine. wont install bootman "cannot find bios id for /dev/ata/master/0_0/" or something, but using a beos bootdisk is fine, and beos functions fine. it jus wont install a bootloader cuz im dual with win98se, any sugestions ? 3rd party perhaps ?
