Ok, here's the message I get when I first select "Install" from the
950322-SNAP boot floppy:

	assertion: cp == np->header.cp failed:
		file "../../pci/ncr.c" line 5243
	ncr0 targ 6?: ERROR (80:100) (e-29-0) (8/13) @ (10d4:e000000).
	reg: da 10 0 13 47 8 6 1f 0 e 86 29 80 1 1 0.
	ncr0: restart (fatal error)
	...

I've tried the NCR controller at IRQ 9 (where it was by default) and
then at IRQ 11 when I noticed that it was at the evil 2/9 IRQ.  Same
problem in both cases.

Does this give you any clues?  Motherboard is P5/90 OPTI chipset with
an AMI bios (the really gross graphical one that uses the mouse! :-).
