Last night, I tried installing 3.2-R on a Thinkpad 770z.  I started up with the 
boot floppies (using the floppy drive mounted in the base station) and installed

via FTP (using a 3c590 installed in the base station).  The install went 
smoothly, except where it complained that part of the X distribution wasn't 
available on the server(?).

Then I rebooted from the hard drive.  Part way through the boot process, the 
computer emitted half a dozen beeps and locked up.  I thought that perhaps it 
was probing something it shouldn't be, but on subsequent attempts it locked up 
at different points in the boot process.  I tried looking around in the visual 
config to make sure that was set up right, but it beeped and locked up while I 
was in there, too.

What could possibly be happening?  What can I do to fix it?  And why am I having

this problem booting, when it booted perfectly off the floppies?

(Please CC replies)

Thanks,
Dave
