I'm building a new server system from one that was temporarily dismantled by its previous owner. At the moment (I plan to upgrade once the system is up and running) I have an Intel L440GX+ mobo, 2 Intel Pentium III 70MHz processors, 256MB RAM, CD-ROM, 20GB HDD (but NO floppy).
The system goes to POST and executes fine (and can enter PhoenixBIOS via F2).
After post is displays:
After that it goes straight to:
Pressing a key doesn't do anything so I just reset.
Is this normal behaviour? Is it just waiting for a suitable OS CD to be inserted? I tried a bootable DOS CD but to no avail (except a long pause at POST). I have no floppy drive on machine and have setup BIOS to boot from CD-ROM > Hard Disk > Intel Boot Agent > Removable Disks.
Thanks.
