I actually suspected that it might have been booting to the wrong drive so I tried installing with only the one. But still no dice.

At this point I'm pretty certain that the problem lies with the  BIOS. Some sites have reported that the error I'm seeing is to do with the BIOS incorrectly booting the os, and that I should upgrade the BIOS. Only problem here is that I do not have a floppy drive to flash the BIOS with.

Does anyone know of a reliable method for creating a DOS bootable Flash Drive? All the methods I've found require that you use a windows machine and a bootable floppy disk. I've had very little luck in getting it to work.
