Dear Netters

        Now I find what caused the following error message:

quoted text
> MINIX-fsmagic mathc failed
> [MS-DOS FS Rel.alpha.8, FAT 16, check=n, conv=b, uid=0, gid=0, umask=000]
> [me=0x50,cs=2,#f=246,fs=23412,fl=12574,ds=36424,de=32962,data=38484,se=22133,
> ts=1963212550]
> Unsupported FS Parameters
> EXT-fs: magic match failed
> Insert disk a3 into the floppy drive then hit enter, q to quit

If I format the 1.2MB floppies with PCTOOLS R3.4 , the problem is gone.
But if I format floppies with the FORMAT utility of MS-DOS 5.0 , the same error
message will appear. It seems that Linux 0.99pl6 can't be installed from the
floppies with FAT-16 made by DOS-format utility, while it can get alone well 
with the DOS FAT-12 created by PCTOOLS.

But the other problem occured while installing from a1.test remains unsolved. 
Anyway, thanks to those who offered me opinions to solve my previous 
question. :-)
