I managed to get the 2.1-960627-SNAP kernel (boot4) to boot on this system. If I add -c to the boot flags, and remove the PCMCIA floppy drive and insert my etherlink III card, I can recognize it, partition the hard disk, and attempt to install. Other systems on the network appear to be seeing the packets come from the notebook (I can tell this by doing "arp -d sinope" (the name of the notebook) on the DNS server and then trying the install. An arp entry will appear on the DNS server, with the right ethernet address.) It appears however, that I am not getting packets back. This suggests an IRQ problem... If I try to install from floppy, (leaving the floppy connected the whole time), I am informed that the machine does not have a floppy drive. On boot up, I see fdc0, but no fd0 found. Anyone with a working experience with such a beast? Please do not tell me buy a new notebook... I would *love* to..
