I removed the 1524CF that was installed in the box (not attached
to any peripherals), and that had the floppy jumper switched to off,
and I was able to run *everything* fine. It's still testing the rvm
routines that I use as the crunch-test, after 3 hours of intensive
paging to and from swap and disc.

I think the reason that groff must have tweaked this is its memory
requirements, which seem to be big - thus causing paging to the swap
area, and bye-bye pumpy.

This also shows that the Adaptec SCSI driver isn't as forgiving as the
older one was.
