Two things come to mind
1) problem with emm386/himem and the dos nic driver
2) boot floppy image on the bmr server is corrupt
I havn't had a problem with 1) but i have had a problem with a corrupted
floppy on the server with BMR 6.0MP1. I had to contact support and have
them walk me threw deleting the image in the BMR/netbackup database.
You are not at the point of the mac address yet. that will come later
after windows is installed. Count on more fun to come.
Hope that helps.
