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
looked right to me.  If this helps me get any closer, I'll be forever
indebted, Colin!
