Oh boy... since you successfully completed an install, perhaps you can tell me 
which local problem causes this error (I'm now using floppies that seem good 
- fdformat doesn't see any problems, anyway). After it uses KERN2, and asks 
for BOOT again, I get this error:

(This was transcribed by hand, but the "issueing" typo isn't mine; it's in the 
code.)

Thanks,
