In case anyone else has problems booting the Tiny BSD disk, you 
may want to check for some unknown IRQ's.  I couldn't get my
machine to even read the floppy until I removed my multi-I/O card.

I suspect some conflict with the ethernet card, so try removing 
some of your non-essential cards if the machine doesn't work.

This is probably pretty obvious to most people, but I forgot
about it in my excitement.


Thanks again to all involved,

Nate
