	Hm. This crossed my mind---that I might have to have a
	CD in the drive.  ...Another thing was that I was missing
	a line from /etc/rc; this is new to 2.2; the ldconfig line 
	that searches out /usr/lib/compat.   I was put into a root
	SH when the boot stalled.  

	Maybe things will work when I reboot.  But I will drop
	a CD into the drive.

	Thanks much.
