Affnan,
I tried this to the letter. . . and it does not work. Still bombs
waiting for the env file on the "A:" drive.
I am using an Adaptec SCSI adapter, connected to a HD with three primary
& one extended partition. I am using System Commander to "mask"
(disable) the partitions I am not using.
I can boot the STN partition to DOS without a hitch, but when I (after
booting to that partition on the HD) run syslinux c:, it boots to STN,
but will not read config files.
What gives?
