Well, maybe people suggested installing new firmware, but at
the moment I have 6.9 installed. I would upgrade to 7.0 but
I couldn't find the docs on how to put the firmware's EXE file
on a floppy so that I may boot it (no cdrom drive).

Someone also reccomended building a new kernel which did not
seem to help either.

Anyone want to take a stab at what this 'error' message means?
vmunix: tu1: no SROM info for selected media

Thanks again
