   I tried the floppy version.  It booted just fine, and was able to mount 
/dev/hde1 = my DOS partition.
It couldn't mount /dev/hde2 (the partition I have prepared for a hard drive 
install), and I found that this is because there is no /dev/hde2 in /dev.  
Accordingly, I have just downloaded SW4.0 /a2/devs.tgz and we'll see if this 
will make a difference.

   Oddly, SW10.2 calls these SATA drives sda1/sda2/sda3/sda4 but I don't 
think that they are scsi at all. But then, what do I know ?   :)

    No, it seems to be just a different sort of IDE drive with faster access.

Regards,
         Ron
