Hi People,
I'm trying to get this system to work and when I try to get it to boot I get the following message:
"No ROM Basic"
"System halted"
Does anyone knows what this mean?
Thanks a lot.

hi

I think you did not set active partition with FDISK.

Boot with floppy and type FDISK. use 2 to set your active partition.
