[Oberon] Aos on an old dual Pentium

[Paul Reed]

I tried the "New Year" Aos CD on an old dual P120
system which I saved from a customer who was about 
to throw it away.

At first I had problems because the Award BIOS 
(v4.50G, 1994) won't boot off the CD and 
NOBOOT.EXE didn't seem to work (Native wouldn't 
boot using NOBOOT.EXE either, but from a boot
diskette Native was OK - is this a known problem?).

Anyway, I installed Native (Jan 2003) and then
installed Aos the long way, off the CD (extracting
the zips off the mounted CD is slooow) and got 
the following trace.  By the way, in AosInst.Tool 
I had to do "FileSystem." instead of "OFSTools.".

Any ideas?  I have no desparate need for this to
work, but it IS the only multiprocessor machine
I can readily lay my hands on.  I am happy to
try things out to see if the problem can be
fixed, but by all means tell me my customer was
right to be throwing it away...  :)
