Hello again!

Well, nothing like sending an email to millions of people to make you
realize you asked the wrong question.

I put a fixed hd in the machine, same results. I was also mistaken about
the 'Support Removable Disks Under BIOS as Fixed Disks' setting.  (Need to
take better notes when fiddling with settings...) It was disabling the
'Host Adapter BIOS' that let me do the install, but _of course_ it ain't
gonna boot that way.

When booting from the install floppies, I get this output:

1544192+1695744+143148+[86484
Please remove disk 1, insert disk 2, and type return...
+102251]=0x36806f

and that's it.  Nothing else.  Is the 2940 no longer supported?

Still fiddling, and looking for ideas...

Russ
