The backpack driver on the 5.0 CD does not work with more recent
backpack drives.
You can fetch a boot disk for 5.0 with a better backpack driver on it:
ftp://ftp.torque.net/pub/rh5bpcd.img
Use rawrite to copy this file to a floppy and try it out.
It is possible that you may still have some problems - please contact
me directly if you do.
