Thanks Ben, that fixed the serial interface problem and it booted normally
to the first installation prompt, without the HME PCI card.  However, it
appears that the 2.4.18 kernel still has problems with the HME PCI card
installed: (see below)

One major problem though - Even without the HME card, it did NOT see the 
hard drive!!!  Is this SCSI only?

        | No hard disk drives were detected.  Since you must be        | 
        | installing a diskless workstation, you must configure the    | 
        | network before mounting your Linux root filesystem from a    | 
        | NFS server.  Select "Next" to configure the network.         |
