Hmm, nice configuration.  I am presuming you'll be looking at the DPT 
driver soon?

Yup.  You have too much memory for the "BOUNCE_BUFFERS" option, which 
is part of the boot floppy's configuration (in order to support 
slightly lower-end systems 8).  If you can temporarily remove most of 
your memory until after you've installed and built a new kernel, 
you'll be fine.
