I am working on a 386 dinosaur and wanted to reformat the hard drive
after deleting the old partition, I went to reboot to (hopefully)
format, when halfway through the boot process I get a blank screen that
says:  NO ROM BASIC
                                                           SYSTEM HALTED

Does anyone know what this means, and how to get around it?  The system
was working fine before all this, I just wanted to do a clean install of
DOS and Windows 3.1.  Any help would be appreciated.  TIA

James
