 Oh - you're right... the way I worded it is a little misleading...

 But - to clarify - I've built and installed a new kernel that
doesn't require any -c "twiddling" All I was doing was disabling
ex0 (because the probe apparently locked up the machine) and moving
the port and irq for ed0.

 Now, I have a kernel installed which requires no -c changes.  So,
I'm not doing any changes...

 The situation is that when I boot from the hard drive; it crashes
immediately - no messages at all.

 If I boot from the (mfs) floppy with

	0:wd(0,a)/kernel

 it boots fine.
