SYMPTOMS
When you start your computer from a Windows 95 (retail version) boot disk, the Config.sys file may not be processed.

CAUSE
This behavior may occur on IBM Netfinity 5000 and 5500 servers that use an IBM ServeRaid controller with firmware revisions 3.50 and 3.60.

This behavior does not occur with an MS-DOS 5.x or 6.x, Microsoft Windows 95B, or Microsoft Windows 98 boot disk.

WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior if you need to start the computer from a bootable floppy disk, use an MS-DOS 5.x or 6.x, Microsoft Windows 95B, or Microsoft Windows 98 boot disk.
