I replaced the Maxtor 71084 A with a LPS420A. The system now finishes the
BIOS stuff and boots from the install floppy. As a test, I connected the
Maxtor as the secondary master; the BIOS saw the LPS but got stuck at the
Maxtor. It appears that the disk drive died between the end of the install
script and the reboot.

Thanks to those who wrote.
