  If you have a Mitsumi drive that uses the "mcd" driver, and which
  does not work with our current install, I'd very much appreciate it
  if you could test a new boot image I made that has some hacks added.
  If you test it, please tell me whether or not it works for you.

This seems to do the trick.  I took the disk and booted with it,
selected mitsumi, put in 0x300,11 for the parameters, and started the
upgrade process.  It got about 1/2 way done before I had to leave.  

I have another problem, though with a different machine.  I have a
386/40 with 8 MB and a 635? MB hard disk (WD Caviar) that I attempted
a fresh install on.  All seemed to go well.  When booting, I get the
famous "LI" and then nothing.  I told the install process to put lilo
on the MBR.  Is there anything I can do to get this to work?
