Thomas, I downloaded the latest stable floppies, did a low-level format of
the floppies, then dd'd the images to them.  Again, the same problem.  Is
there any special hardware or BIOS manipulations I need to do?  The error
looks related to the primary IDE controller, but I can't tell what
specifically it is.  Again, the machine is a HP Kayak XA 333 (w/ 66 MHz
I/O bus).  Thanks.

Joe Clarke
