Description alcino 2000-12-07 15:50:01 UTC

In a IBM 486DX2-66 ValuePoint, 40 Mb, after loading mfsroot diskette, when inicializing the boot properly, the screen flashes a never ending list of maybe registers (to fast, unreadable)

Fix: 

In a newer processor (K6 for example), the error does not occur.
How-To-Repeat: Diskettes of 4.1 or 4.2 ever

Does this still occur with more recent releases?

Mail to submitter bounces (the PR relates to IBM 486 DX2-66 
hardware which is ancient, and quite likely to be a bit weird).
