It is the complete messages, except for the fact that it is repetead a
couple of times.

I have tried both with and without my 300 Mb maxtor disk at the same time.
The maxtor doesn't have any problem with boting up and being used.

I have big trouble with my floppy to now, but it seems to work in my 486,
so I don't realy know what to do. I havn't found any info on what
ide-controller.
