[Sheflug] Booting a Compaq Prosignia server

[<nospam [at] consignia.com>]

Hi there

I have just put together ( with Richard's help) an old Compaq Prosignia 200
server. We have installed
a minimum SUSE system and I intend to use the machine as a home file server.

It is a P166 with 80Mb RAM, 5Gb and 3.5 Gb disks.
My question is: Does anybody know how to get the thing to boot from the hard
disk?

At the moment I can only boot the system from the CD-ROM drive using the SUSE
CD1, the machine will not even boot from the floppy disk.
When the machine starts it gives two options: Press F1 to continue or F10 for
system setup. Pressing F10 does nothing and pressing F1 boots it from
the CD.

I have downloaded all of the Compaq utilities for Prosignia 200 servers but
without being able to boot from floppy I cannot use any of the floppy disks
that are created.

Can anybody help?

Thanks

James
