Tried booting 1.2 off the kcadp12 floppy on a machine here.
Looked fine - though it didn't find the ethernet as I recall and I got
a lot of soft errors reading the floppy (which was written by 1.2
running on a sun4c).

Anyway when I went to boot DrOS again, the SMC8000 driver said the
cards RAM started at an illegal boundary.  Sure enough ezsetup showed
the card with a rather invalid set of NVRAM contents.

Is this still the ie driver?  Would it not be a good idea to have a
boot floppy that did not include it?
