Compaq boot problem.  See numerous previous posts on the matter.  Fixed in
next patch kit.

1)	Get a Compaq boot file
2)	Wait for patchkit 0.2 and install the patch on another machine,
	make a boot disk, and boot your machine.
3)	Wait for patchkit 0.2 to be installed and a boot disk generated
`	by someone else, and boot your machine.
