The floppy version fails on the first PC tried (
Amalthea) with the following messages:

Other observations:
- There's a real HD at the primary master, and the HD led does come on at the expected time.
- The floppy driver is obviously broken - the led indicator however goes out at the moment of panic.
- A working PS/2 mouse is connected but apparently not detected (rebooted into w98 to check).
- I get no messages about the installed CD drives, but that might be intentional.
The hardware is slightly dated, so you might want to check the specs linked above. As far as harddisk is concerned, do you need an ATA-4+ response from hardware? [edit]Checked the IDE controller, IDENTIFY works as expected and returns an ATA-5 drive, I probably mixed up that machine with an older one[/edit]
