changed your host adapter configuration and Windows NT Server 4.0 no longer boots, perform the following steps to recover it:

2. Reboot the computer. Watch the display carefully during start-up. If the following message appears, press the spacebar, type l at the next

screen, and then follow the instructions on the screen to continue booting with the last known good configuration:
