[wplug] How to build a firewall/router?

[Phil Walther, Jr.]

Wow, I haven't seen a Rom Basic error like that in ages.  The system can not
find a bootable floppy or hard disk.

Here's another link to a LRP:

|Greetings, all -
|
|I'm finally getting DSL, and expect service to begin next week. For this
|week's miniproject, I wanted to set up a 386 as a firewall/router using
|floppyfw (Brian S., this is the same beast you spent so much time with a
|couple of meetings ago)>
|
|Problems have arisen (of course!)
|
|1) At boot, the 386 now generates an error msg I hadn't seen before: "No
|rom basic. System halted." Does this mean what I think it means, i.e.,
|"This machine's ready for the scrap heap"? Or is it fixable (and would it
|be worth the trouble)?
