OK a little more research with some 5.3 install floppies. They can't boot 
either because init dies due to a maloc error.
The BIOS only finds a bit more than 900,000KB of memory. I used to have 128MB 
in 4 sticks of 32MB. This looks like one of the sticks has died to me.
Anyone else have any ideas?
