    Hi,

    Some of you already came across some boot errors displaying BB's or 99's.
    I have searched for that and here is the explanation for this:

    The codes are error return codes from the LILO boot loader.
    Code:
    00  no error(8,n)
01  invalid disk command
02  address mark not found
03  disk write-protected
04  sector not found
06  floppy disk removed
08  DMA overrun
0A  bad sector flag
0B  bad track flag
20  controller failure
40  seek failure (BIOS)
40  cylinder>1023 (LILO)
99  invalid second stage index sector (LILO)
9A  no second stage loader signature (LILO)
AA  drive not ready
BB  BIOS error
FF  sense operation failed
    see LILO man page
