Let me state, once again, since people seem to have missed it:  This
machine is already successfully running Windows98 and Windows NT.

NT's boot cd worked.  Win98's boot cd failed in the exact same manner
FreeBSD's does, so I used a Win98 install floppy.  Niether the FreeBSD
4.1.1-R cdrom, nor a boot floppy from that release will boot.  Yes, I
tested them on another machine to make sure they work.

As I stated in my initial post, all drives except the LS-120 are SCSI.

No, the motherboard does not have an option to turn the floppy controller
off.  It does allow me to tell it there are no floppy drives, which I of
course have done.

I am using a single 256M 3.3v unbufferred PC-133 DIMM in DIMM slot 1.
