But it all works now!!! Booted and on the net. I'm grinding away
at stuff in pkgsrc.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
What I did was:
1. make a DOS boot disk containing fdisk and pfdisk.
2. boot floppy and use fdisk to make a small primary
DOS partition.
3. use pfdisk to see the geometry
4. use above info from pfdisk during the install. bingo!!
