I don't see anything like that - perhaps there is some
key combo during bootup that will show me more
verbose startup info? I couldn't find anything in BIOS
setup for that.

Sorry, which source?
Also, is this with regards to using /386/pbs versus
/386/pbslba during disk/format? I thought that was
only an issue if the first active partition is further
into the disk than some 8.5 GB? That isn't the case
here.
