There's lots and most of it looks normal but here are the highlights...
The install routine, before the system reboots, the installer lists system
identification stuff:
Resource 'draco.resource' : not present
chipset: ECS
Module 'Magic 36.7': not present
Module 'kickad 36.57': not present
Module '03000 Bonus': not present
Module '0300 bonus': 0x00f864f8
(this looks bad)^
Then it shows the memory (1 block) and chipmem (2megs), kernel entry and
ramdisk stuff.
After the reboot lots of stuff shoots by but it shows that it's starting
kswapd v 1.4.2.2
Finds my non-working floppy with:
found <5>fd: drive 0 didn't identify, setting default ffffffff
fd0
md driver 0.35 MAX_MD_DEV=4 MAX_REAL=8
