boot.exe problem

Yeap, I think that your suggestion is right and the problem is mostly
happened in the boot file system as I tried to stop in the very
beginning of the initialisation in the kernel. It still reboots my
386. Ah, I find that you have said the root file system is installed
at the first partition, but my configuration is rather complicated
with a Linux installed on the same harddisk.

I would want to see if my configuration should run VSTa or not.
Please give comments or remedies.
1. Linux Loader (LILO) is installed which can allow me to select
   a partition to bootstrap.
2. partition 1 and 2 are installed by Linux.
3. partition 3 is a normal DRDOS 6.0.
4. partition 4 is a compressed superstor drive of DRDOS.
5. both VSTa and DJGPP are in partition 4 ( D: of DRDOS ).

I think such complexities should be the source of problem.

Thank you for the document in boot.exe. Should I get more docs about
VSTa?

Any comments or suggestions are welcome from those trying VSTa in there
PC.
