No Rom Basic
Hi All : Im just in the middle of setting up a Linux Firewall, P133 2 GB Hard Drive.
Bottom line, with one HD with Win 98 on it, system boots fine, put my 2GB With Win 98 Boot files, comes up with the following :
NO ROM BASIC
System Halted
I can also boot from a floopy but thats about the whole story. Hope someone has a few ideas...

late thoughts....
you must have set boot sequence to something like D,A,CDROM and the drive u plug in is actually the second drive in the system.
without it, the bios ignores the D setting since only one drive is there and boots thru. is it true....?
