2100 4/200 Firmware v5.8
I am trying to load V4.0F onto a box that previously had NT installed on it.
All drives have been erased, and reconfigured.
>From the >>> I ran arc, and changed the settings to Digital Unix.
When I boot from CD it seems to come up all right till right at the end when
it comes up with :
*** Performing CDROM installation
Starting Xserver Please wait ...
 424
At that point the console blacks out. I can see the arrow or sometimes a
white box from the mouse , but that is all.
It is a graphics console, with a SVGA monitor, keyboard and mouse connected
directly.
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated .
