I may have found the issue.

The first 2 times I did the install, I used the graphical mode.

I just re-installed, and this time used the text mode.   This install asked
for the 2nd and 3rd CDs -- both attempts with the graphical mode stopped
after CD 1, and then instructed to reboot the machine.

Now the machine works properly and successfully boots Linux.

So...  is there something buggy in the graphical install mode ????


Thanks all.

Jeff.

My first bet is that SILO got installed on disk1, and you've got 
boot-device set to disk.  I _really_ need to be sure we get this stuff 
working sanely before the next release.

If you do "boot disk1", does it work?  If so, "setenv boot-device disk1" 
should solve the problem you mention.
