April'98? What's that 2.2.5? The current release is 3.1-Release, you
may want to use a more recent version.
Having said that, have you resolved all the conflicts on startup using
the visual configuration screen? In most cases, this *MUST* be done.
Do *NOT* remove the sc0 device, since that's your screen console.
