Hello,
I had installed RH9 ; After installation I can
reboot only from a floppy diskette ;
I get the following error whe
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS
ENTER
This is a new computer (2.4 GHz) , new Disk (Maxtor 40g).

AFTER rebooting from diskette I can access
the hard disk.

what can be the problem ?
regards
sting

No bootloader/not installed properly?
Once you boot, you can install lilo or grub. For lilo, make a config file for it (/etc/lilo.conf) with the help of the lilo.conf manual page. Then run 'lilo' to install lilo.

Hi,

It sounds like your boot loader isn't installed properly. If your 40GB Maxtor is Primary Master, type (as root) grub-install /dev/hda
