With nothing to lose, I decided to just try the mysterious 'Initialize' option in the BIOS East-Setup menu and it magically fixed the problem. I have no idea what Initialize changed, and couldn't find any info about it anywhere on IBM's support site. Very weird. As an aside, I couldn't boot into the installer from any FreeBSD CD that I have (4.3, 4.1, 3.2 and even 2.2.7). I always get "Can't find 'kernel'" and "Can't fine 'kernel.old'", or a complete hang in 2.2.7. Well, doesn't matter, the floppies seem to do the trick - I'm installing at this moment. Hope it's smooth sailing from here... Anyway, thanks guys for responding, I appreciate it. Steve K. U.F.O. - "For the feeler gauge in you."
