If you used the PAO-itized 2.1.5-R boot floppy: After you installed, you should have done: cd /stand ./PAOsetup which would have patched your kernel for PAO automatically, as directed by the information that came with the boot floppy image. PAO is not part of the standard distribution, no, but Hosokawa does a great job documenting the processes involved. I had a machine with the same situation as you, and after following all the instructions, it worked perfectly.
