I am trying to rebuild a late 80s 80286 based PC. This machine resembles the first one I used as a kid.

In this video I describe the problem I encountered: The board I am using has no builtin setup program, so I can't configure the hard disk parameters and hence I can't get it to boot off of the Compact Flash drive.

But help is on its way in the form of floppy drives and diskettes! Stay tuned...
