Well, not exactly. I'll give it a try. I *did* try just hitting the reset 
button and that didn't make any change. I also turned off the power, 
removed the hard drive, took it back to its original box, booted up, 
recompiled the kernel, brought it back to the new(er) box and plugged it 
back in, and powered up. I also tried booting up with floppies (succeeded) 
and tried running 'fdisk -B ad0' to try to replace the MBR, but that had no 
effect. I've tried it on a third, even older box, which I'm running FreeBSD 
on, and it wouldn't boot up there either -- same error.
