Booting 98SE

I'm trying to get 98 SE to boot on my IPaq, I copied 98 over to a 128MB CF and I can get to dos and boot safe mode no problem. windows just hangs on a normal boot. I tried cleaning out all the drivers in devices when I was in safe mode. The install of 98 on the CF was copied from a clean install on another machine, and I did use partition manager and followed all the instructions I could find on this board. Do I need a specific driver to get windows to boot? BTw what are the function keys on the IPaqs keyboard? I had to edit msdos.sys just to get to a command prompt so I could boot into safe mode.

Guinsu,
You need to disable ACPI after booting into safe mode. Follow this thread:
