SYMPTOMS
Windows NT does not install properly on Micronics 486DX/66 computers with
Ultrastor 34F.
When you start Windows NT on a Micronics 486DX/66 computer, the NTLOADER
starts, the screen clears to blue, NTLOADER queries the hard disk and then
you receive the following STOP message:
0x0000007B Inaccessible Boot Device.
CAUSE
This problem is related to the combination of Ultrastor 34F disk
controller and the Micronics board (09-00183-06 486DX/66).

To work around this problem, do the following.
- Make sure the Micronics computer has the latest Phoenix BIOS (0.01 JX30-
