As you asked, I scribbled them down off the screen... (I wish the Booter
was able to log this stuff, too!) Items in [square brackets] have been
described by me, as opposed to transcribed.... This is the full boot
sequence, from the time it finds my floppy drive on down.

The reason I didn't include this stuff in my earlier posting is because it
