I originally posted the situation on the eCs install news group. It
didn't get much response. The discussion on this list grew out of what
I thought was a simple question about how to step thru config.sys during
boot. The only thing I have found is an Alt-F4 boot, which is of no use
in this case because it doesn't kick in until after basedev.

The text below I clipped from the news group. I have made some progress
since the original post.

The machine is an all-in-one, P3-1.7\Shuttle MV42N, Via. I had the MB
in another case and was running DRDOS, W98SE and W4-15. AC97 and nic
worked OK. I had set it aside because I couldn't get a modem to work
with it.

I put the MB in a new case with an empty 60G HDD; C: primary, the rest
extended with a few 1-2g partitions.

Some of the basedev load, and then stop with "Unable to operate disks"
I can't tell which driver is the problem. I swapped DASD from IBM to
Dani; no change.

Suggestions?
