Thanks! The linux-a.out image worked great. I do have one other question (probably not related to the debain install). When it first rebooted after the install, all I could get was an "Illegal Instruction" message. I was able to get it to work by typing "boot disk1". I had tried to do a RedHat install on this system earlier, could that have caused this?
