insmod soundcore
insmod soundlow
insmod sound (I think this is where it gets stuck - can't insmod the
module when using the new kernel tho I can with bare.i)
insmod v_midi
insmod uart401
insmod sb io=0x220 irq=5

sb16 - the above worked on all my computers with bare.i

I found CONFIG_SOUND_SB and CONFIG_SOUND_VMID(I?) in the help file but I 
don't see it in my .config file - possibly because I made a few mistakes 
and did not know how to back up so just edited the .config file, which I 
now see I should not have done.  If I accidentally said N to sound it 
might have not then offered me other options.

Maybe soundlow was needed in order to use 'sound' itself and I did not 
have support for that even as a module.

I also found CONFIG_LOWLEVEL_SOUND but nothing about SOUNDCORE
and for UART6850 which it says not to use for most sound cards.

I will try another configure.  Or read bare.i and hand-edit this one.
My kernel was only about 450K even with sound and scsi (and no math-emu).
