[Duo2400] Re: 2400c/180 and 8.5+

[Chuck Kenney]

Well I'll be....

The "system resources" file was causing it.  That seems so odd to me, but it
works.  I pulled that file out, and it boots fine.  I drop it back in, and
it throws that error.

New one to me.  I've never seen an installer do quite that before.  I
figured it was either something that is disabled by shift, or the RAM test.

Thanks for the help.
