John Baldwin was going to send me some debugging boot0s but he's obviously been busy. Our workaround was to install the 512-byte boot0 from the 4.0 CD. We did this by booting the 4.1 CD, using the 4.1 Fixit floppies (because the 4.1 Fixit CD didn't work!), then copying the boot0 from a 4.0 CD into /boot, then using boot0cfg to install it. Greg.
