- I've got an IBM PC RT running AIX 2.2.1.
-
- I know that this has been asked here before but it hasn't been
- a problem for me until now. Sorry.
-
- Can someone please tell me how to boot from a diskette in
- the floppy drive?
-
- I've done this hundreds of times before without any problem but
- now for some reason I'm not able to boot from the floppy drive
- that contains the Install/Maintenance diskette nor the Diagnostics
- Diskette. When I CTRL - ALT - PAUSE the floppy spins for a bit
- then stops and eventually the system starts booting from the hard drive.
