Hi Christoph,

wineboot does not print anything. The error you see (warning, really) is 
a direct result of the lack of floppy in your system, coupled with the 
floppy definition in your .wine/config.

It is entirely possible that what you are seeing is a succesful run of 
wineboot. If you have any doubts, run it with "wine --debugmsgs 
+wineboot wineboot". This will give you a trace of what wineboot is 
doing. You are likely to see mostly a few file renames.

It is crucially important to only run wineboot after all wine processes 
have finished succesfully! wineboot was designed to be run 
automatically, and thus does not have the proper protection against 
running while other wine processes are still alive. Unfortunetly, time 
ran out on me while working on that aspect, so it needs to be run 
manually for the time being.

If you see no trace at all, please let us know. If you see nothing right 
after running setup.exe (and getting the message that a reboot is 
necessary), this may indicate a bug in wineboot.
