Replace "on boot" with "when trying to boot".

It's the same hardware that both RH7.3 and RH9 works fine on.

Motherboard: Asus A7V133 rev 1.05.
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 1600+
RAM: 512MB
NIC: 3Com 3C905C-TXM
Audio: Creative SoundBlaster Live! 5.1
CD-ROM Burner: LiteOn 52x24x52x
DVD Drive: Pioneer DVD-116
Display Adapter: Leadtek WinFast GeForce256 DDR 32MB AGP
Monitor: ViewSonic P815-4
Printer: HP LaserJet 5

Luckily, I installed FC2 on a spare HDD and didn't clobber RH9 with FC2.
