Having reinstalled windows (my games launcher) I had to replace
booteasy. Imagine my horror when after going through the 2 disk boot
and configuration procedure, the machine goes no further than
using /stand/sysinstall as init on /dev/vty0
on F2, we have DEBUG: caught signal 11, that's bad!

After going through this twice more, I removed the STTNG: BOTF CD from 
my NCR875 connected DVD-ROM drive. The system then worked perfectly, I
rewrote my boot blocks and once again have a dual booting machine.


As an Englishman I'm quite happy to accept "Wrong sort of CD in the drive",
but I thought I'd add this data point just in case anyone else suffers
from this problem.
