Hi,
	I'm trying to help a co-worker install 2.0.5 onto a
	DEC Venturis 466 (486DX2 with a co-processor, ISA/IDE)

	Boot floppy hangs while probing npx0 (config has npx0 at
	IRQ13 0xF0). Microsoft Diags show the co-processor at IRQ 13.

	If we disable the probe of npx0 (which I'm sure is a bad thing
	as I think a co-processor is required), we boot OK, and get to select
	all the various options.

	As soon as we 'commit' and start the ftp, the system immediately 	
	'panics' with a Page Fault.

	The only other relevant piece of info I could see is that when
	DOS boots it says (in regard to the IDE at IRQ 14)

	LBA Mode Active
	Hooking BIOS drive 80h
	Rerouting INT 13h for device 80h

	No idea is the above 13h is significant.

	
	Anyone have any experience on this hardware, help us get it installed.

thanks
	tony
