  14. Add one more to the list of people who've seen this error.  In my case, it
  15. was a tuned 7.01 IIfx, and I couldn't boot from floppy either.  Couldn't
  16. re-install the system.  *COULD* boot if I disconnected the internal hard
  17. drive, but that wasn't a particularly positive solution.
  18.     Finally fixed the problem by booting from a system 6.0.8 floppy
  19. and *then* re-installing system 7.  I don't understand it, and if someone
  20. could explain what happened, I'd sleep easier at night.
  21.     Thanks.

  24. If I had a .sig, I wouldn't be doing this by hand, now would I?  :)
