Before I posted my first message, I flashed the last Boot Agent onto the
NIC, and after seeing your message, I hunted down and flashed the last BIOS
for the motherboard which was from mid 97. Unfortunately, it is still
crashing with exactly the same halted message. For those that might be
interested in the hardware, the system is a Pentium 166, on a Biostar
8500TUC MB with 32 MB of RAM. That particular MB uses the Intel 430HX
chipset. Only expansion cards in the system are a Matrox Millenium video
card, and the Intel PRO/100 S NIC. There are no hard drives or floppy drives
in the system. This machine used to be my server until I replaced it a few
months ago with a new machine.
