Sindi:

If this can help:

I have a 133Mhz 586 with a 810Mby HD, partitioned in two, 
that boots with Ranish Partition Manager.

I run BL3
The interesting thing is that I have:

a) One FAT16 partition with PC-DOS
b) One FAT32 partition with WIN95

In a) I have c:\baslin\*.* WITHOUT fs.img (too big for that partition)
In b) I have d:\baslin\fs.img  (16Mby loop)

So I loadlin in FAT16 of a loop in FAT32.


Alejandro.
