This looks to me like maybe the root disk is corrupt. Try recreating
the root floppy. Also try a different disk incase it is the physical
media that is bad. Also check out "rawwritent" or something like
that. It is cool because it is GUI based, and thus easier to use on
M$ platforms. (though I still like dd better ;-))

This isn't a problem, but a setting. You don't need to worry about
apm until you have your system installed. Once you have the system
installed add "apm=on" to the 'append' line in /etc/lilo.conf and
rerun lilo.

This machine works great -- I have Debian on it too. The only problem
is the PCMCIA NIC doesn't come back when returning from standby. I
need to eject, then insert, then 'ifup eth0' again to get the network
back.
