Thanks for the pointers on getting the boot blocks installed on the IDE
drives....now for the original problem:

The boot code fails in 2 routines: probe_keyboard() and gateA20().
probe_keyboard() fails in several places, and I suspect its making invalid
assumptions about how my particular controller is supposed to work. I don't
care about a com console so I just commented that out for now.

gateA20() hangs in much the same way, but my question is that there is a
define option for IBM_L40 which seems to work, but no info on what this
option is for. Does anyone know about this?

thanks,

dennis
