It spits out the AMI BIOS configuration table, followed by:

SDRAM  at DIMM  #    :  1
Searching for Boot Record from Floppy..Not Found
Searching for Boot Record from IDE-0..OK
MBR...PBS...I/O error
Press a key to reboot...

That's it, no real clues about what it doesn't like.

Hardware is:  Celeron 500, 64MB RAM, 10GB hd primary master (all Plan 9, no
other partitions for anything else), PS2 mouse, USB disabled in BIOS (which
may or may not really mean anything), 3com 3c905 ethernet card, Tean TN2
(Cirrus CL-GD5440-J-QC-B) video, 3-1/2" floppy drive, generic keyboard, and
nothing else.  The box booted Linux and FreeBSD without complaints in its
past lifetimes.
