It's only a 1 GB disk anyway, but my root partition is small (40
MB) and at the very beginning. I've also checked to make sure that
I've got all of the partitions aligned on cylinder boundaries.

It looks a little to me like this could be a corrupt boot block or
something like that, actually, except for the fact that I installed
the same boot block on the classic and it worked. And installboot
is leaving the a.out header on the boot block, as it should....
