What does this mean? If this is a -questions question, then please feel
free to flame me privately (just thought it sounded -currentish). If
there are any useful diags I can type, let me know.

Hardware is 350MHz K6/2, generic-looking Asus motherboard with
integrated video and audio, no-name PCI 10baseT ethernet adapter,
floppy, single 20G IDE disk, 64M RAM. No other peripherals.

Have tried different floppies. Recent OpenBSD snapshot floppy works
just fine, by way of crude hardware sanity check.
