I try to boot BeOS on a 100 MHz Box, Phoenix Bios, Intel processor, okay, it says, after it gets to the disk icon and waits 5 minutes, that is cant find it's "Happy Files", then cant find the BootScript, then the Shell, and then it just locks up ( it displays the errors in the kernel debugger, first error is that it cant mount /dev/disk/virtual/fmap/0_0 (or whatever the name is), and it just doesnt boot, Any Suggestions?
