Well, I had the same problem, 1.1 didnt't work with my HDDrive, so what
did I do. I got the 1.5 demo disk, booted it, made a file system on my
HD transferred everything to it, and now i leave it on. I still cant
boot from 1.1 boot disks, so i avoid shuting down. But I hav started the
upgrade process. It takes some time, but I'll give it a try...
