Hello


I tried several times to install Alpine Linux 3.13.5-x86 (using the
standard image) on a Pentium1 (586) system. The CD booted and the
installer ran through without reporting errors, but after rebooting,
all I get is the following output when the computer tries to boot from
the hard drive:

PRESS ANY KEY TO REBOOT


Is this a BIOS message? It seems that syslinux failed to install or there is no booteable partition, are you booting legacy or uefi?

With than system I suppose that it will be legacy. Check with fdisk that your boot partition is bootable and try (install syslinux if needed first):

extlinux -i /mnt/boot

dd if=/usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda
