I'm using a 40 meg seagate drive, it's not terribly old, though (perhaps 3 
years).

I tried the b.com you suggested and it still failed, but with a different 
error.  The hardwait and hardintr messages were the same but the panic 
was "panic: hardintr 2".  

Any suggestions on this or should I give up and buy an AT&T machine? :)
