I tried booting disk1 on two 486s around here.

One said
	/386/init: file does not exist
	panic: boot process dies: unknown
	(plus what I take to be a stack trace)
A directory listing under MS-DOS indicates \386\init does exist.

The other one said
	exception/interrupt 6
	FLAGS=10092  TRAP=6  ECODE=0  PC=80107d84
	(plus a register dump)

I successfully booted the floppy image from the previous version on both 
machines, so I'm sad to see the new version fail so soon.  Should I try 
verifying the disk image with a checksum?  Or should I try a different 
brand PC?

(I was still waiting for a local SparcStation 2 to become available so I 
can put the previous version up there.  Perhaps I should continue to wait.)
