Okay all you geezers out there.... I've got a 486 that I've been using
as a firewall. I'm trying to make it "headless", but when I remove the
keyboard and try to boot, it won't get all the way through boot. It does
the POST okay, and attempts to boot from the floppy, but won't finish
booting. I've performed the test four times, twice with keyboard and
twice without. Results are uniform.
Now, it seems like I recall from a past life that old PCs used one of
the keyboard lines to manage memory or somesuch. Seems like I remember
something like an "A20" error or something like that.
Anyone remember this, and am I on the right track?
Paul
