Well I rewrote the boot diskette on another host and the
T2400 booted just fine.

Aside from the pain of loading the distrib off floppies 
several times due to a bad file on the *last* diskette,
things went ok. 

Moral of this saga: Don't give up. Keep trying.

Thanks Jordan and company, for all your efforts.
