I have had some problems with the installation of NOVELL Advanced NetWare on
my 386/33 PC-Clone.
My PC has got a standard i/o equipment (2 serial cards and 2 parallel) and
an IDE-based Seagate HDD with 130 MB.
The installation of SHGEN on the workstation worked well.
The ethernet cards installation too.
The Server configuration worked also (I am thinking so).
The problem arised when I started the NetWare installation.After that I had
tiped in that I wanted the "standard floppy method" and the default settings,
the system said that it will check my hard disk and then I got the 
mysterious error message:"Abend:Improper ROM Parameter table for DISK controller" and the system hung.

Can somebody explain me this error message and suggest me what to do ?


Thank you for your help.
Bye.
