okay firsk off if you read you config file at the top it says make sure your drive letter is in caps so fix that first, then (im taking a swing in the dark here) i noticed that in your config file all comments started w/ ## but this one here
Code: Select all
pci_ide0_master_type = "hd" #do not change.
has only one so put another one next to the exsiting one
o and for E:\ dont put the back slash so it sould be E:
good luck

You said you downloaded the 6 gb image? your config file refers to a 3gb .img file. Is this correct?
Also, after applying Dr. Choc' change to the drive letter, you could try to:
comment out the memory line
and set:
pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"
to
pci_ide0_master_type = ""
best wishes
