Actually I was mistaken. It was a 200 that started to boot correctly.

I have moved things to the internal network in ymy room rather than 
keeping them at work. This is a much simplified networks so things 
will be easier. Am hoping to install on the 200 and then put the disk 
on the 240.  Intend to use it as a departmental ftp server 
eventually. Have an old 200 running ultrix right now but we didn't 
want to futz with y2k compliance. So now my linux box is seeing the 
bootp request.  It's a first step...

I am still interested in the errs I was getting on the 240.
