I tried the new bootdisks. The install failed once again on my Micron
Millenia due to the already-discussed IRQ share between the network
card and the SCSI card. Derek says that this will not be handled until 2.1
or 2.2, so that's done.
The other annoying thing I forgot to report is that it takes forever
on the reverse DNS lookup, mostly because it fails miserably.
I gave it the address 18.66.0.27, hit tab for the rest, and it sat for
two minutes failing the lookup. I then put in the name (giacometti)
myself, and went on to mount NFS and go to second stage. I have
no idea why this might fail.
