I appreciate the offers, however, I have bashed it into shape in the following manner: Although my boot.flp isn't usable for install, it does boot and apparently clears the appropriate bits, such that using a 1.1.10 boot floppy from the sendero site w/o hitting the reset button, and just allowing it to panic, then quickly swap in the 1.1.10 version floppy lets it boot correctly. I was then able to mount fixit, chroot, ifconfig, and build a new kernel that works. I appreciate all the email traffic offering suggestions as to what to try next... If I power cycled it, or hit reset it would never come up right... Next quest is to see why I can't make a working bootable floppy, and send in the few patches I already have for it.
