Yeah, I was beginning to suspect the floppy. Every few reboots (they're often - I'm still in development/config) the boot process trips over a crc error during gunzip of some package or other. What a pain in the butt. How rough, exactly, is the 1680K format on those things?
I feel a little better that memory problems are low on the list.
