Yes...

BTW, yesterday I tried one of installations from web (21 floppies)...
I copied image of startup disk to one floppy, and the rest of installation files I exctracted into separate directory on working, empty PCMCIA HDD.. (I did not have enough good floopies, some of them I tried had bad sectors after formatting (?!)

Installation behaved exactly as before - all goes well, but on reboot, there is that "invalid system disk" message...

Today I ordered another CF card from vendor on ebay (with w'98 which worked OK last time all the way (apart from driver issues).. which I reformatted and used for w'95 installation.
I want to see what exactly is different in terms of formatting and disk organization...
