- Funny thing. That's exactly what I did... but it still didn't boot
- (same error). I booted the Indigo using a 4.0.5F (Indigo/Reality
- Engine only) CD, upgraded from that disc, then used the 4.0.5F
- maintenance disc. No luck...
-
- Further info on the system: 32 MB RAM, 432 MB disk, Elan graphics. The
- system had been upgraded to 4.0.5F with the Elan upgrade (a few weeks
- back). After installing the R4K board and trying to upgrade from CD,
- inst did not seem to try and add very much at all.
