Topic: CDROM + Floppy can't read/write config  (Read 2485 times)

I've tried this on 2 different  Pentium II machines and tried another floppy disk.  mOnOwall boots but throws errors saying it can't read the config file - there are errors in various lines.  The floppy is ms-dos formatted but blank.

The console menu comes up but most options just go right back to the menu immediately after you press enter.  I can't connect to the PC at address 192.168.1.1 (my network is 192.168.16.x). The reset factory options appears to write to the floppy, then reboots but the same issue.

Any suggestions what I'm missing? Is there an image I need to write to the floppy before trying to run the CD ?

Thanks

Just needs to be FAT formatted. I'd try yet another floppy, I tend to have to try 3-4 of them at times before I find one that works reliably. I've never seen any floppy issue that wasn't caused by a bad drive or disk.
