Yes, but I tried again with only wdc0 and fdc0 enabled and
with npx flags 1 and got into the menu. Yes!

So it shows disk geometry: 699/64/63 which is not what was
printed during the boot although the 699*64 == 2796*16.
Now I try to
"G" to set the geometry to 2796/16/63 by typing into the
dialog box

2797//16//63

which yields 2796/0/63 showing in the menu.

Is this "normal" or do we expect G to work?
