I have just tried:

1. Booting V3.4 (downloaded) still says "can't find init"
2. Booting V3.2 (floppies from CD dist) ditto

THEN, I tried booting the V4.0 CD with ALL other SCSI devices
disconnected - and it worked (came up with the install menu).
Note: It was DKA100 - RZ26, DKA200 - RZ28 and DKA300 - CD.
      and I have tried it with the CD at DKA0.

BUT that's not much use as (at that point) I don't have any disk
to install it on (and hot plugging doesn't work).

Does this provoke and suggestions?
