Black Screen on Netware 4.11 install after language selection 1

[Nelix]

I have booted from a windows 98 cd rom support floopy and then run install.bat from the cd and i get to choose the language and then the screen goes black and i cant do anything

You can't boot from a Windows 98 floppy.. You also have to setup the DOS partition as a FAT16 partition, not a FAT32. If you use Win98, it will try to make it FAT32.

Find a DOS 6.22 Boot disk with CD Drivers (

and use that instead.

Thx

I also found the following TID on Novell web site TID2952623

On install CD manually perform the following

CD\INSTALL\IBM\DOS\XXX\_
Select MAIN

Even if you were able to avoid that one screen, it's still a good idea only to have FAT16 for the DOS partition. I've seen problems with fat32 DOS partitions and the general consensus is to use FAT16.
