For loop bl3 I tried

loadlin zimage kbd-reset root=/dev/loop0 initrd=initfs.gz no387 rw
(I added no387 before rw)
It still blacks out while booting.

The boot loader information was very interesting anyway.  Thanks.
Any other ideas?  This is a strange little computer.  It made the ext2 
partition hda5.  The other partition is hda1.  FreeDOS.

In the meantime one of the two 486s we were going to use for linux no 
longer powers on, after being left plugged in overnight to see if the 
battery would charge.  Problem with the voltage regulator?  The power 
supply output is okay.  Yesterday it ran loop linux perfectly.

We have one 486 still working except for slow floppy drive and another 
with 2MB RAM.
