    Harry,
    This is very strange. Your floppy boot works but the hda mbr fails. hmmm
    I think Otto touched on this, but is the drive bootable (physically not
    according to a fdisk flag). Do you have a old test hd you could swap in just
    to eliminate the chance it is the hdd actually causing the probs.
