Great! Thanks for following up.

As this report has now become a bit long and difficult to follow, I'm 
closing it.

Could you file one new installation report for the issue that you need to 
press enter 4 times to get the root floppy loaded so we can keep track of 
that? I think that is now the only issue remaining.

Cheers,
FJP
