Yuppers -- did a binary transfer. [ description of okay hardware and
presumably ok installation procedure deleted ]
It occurred to me that I should have mentioned that the "DOS" volume was
actually a Windows 95-formatted partition. Perhaps this makes a
difference.
I got my installation going by using the ppp ftp installer once I found
that (a) ppp was forcing /dev/cuaa0 and (b) my Chicago ISP turned out to be
the flaky party yet again -- the install works fine with a long-distance
call to my California ISP.
