Install problem solved

[Arandir]

Taking the advice of a coworker (manger actually - they are good for
something after all), I used a boot disk to start the installation
process, instead of the typical zero-floppy install. I suspect that the
problem involved loadlin.

In any case, SuSE is running fine, since that was the only distro with a
handy bootdisk lying around.

Thanks for everyone's input.
