Thanks. That did the trick, though I'm not exactly sure why.
It's time for me to examine my boot floppy to see if I can get it
to run /boot/loader automatically so I don't have to worry about it
any more.
The good news: I now know what the problem is. The bad news:
I wasted time upgrading to 4.1. The good news: hey, I'm now running
an up-to-date system! The bad news: now my sound card doesn't work!
Oh, well.
