	Yes, it was from release floppies written a couple of weeks ago.
In fairness, it might not like my scsi host adapter (Adaptec 1542CF).  Or
there may be an issue with the size of the drive (HP C2490 - 2 GB).  The
bios only supports one controller so fitting enough IDE drives for src,
obj, usr and swap wasn't an option.

	Sorry.
