Works great! I ran rdev on both the floppy and the system copy in / and
booted right up from the floppy. I was even able to get loadlin installed on
my DOS partition and have booted from DOS! This is great! Now I don't have
to keep making boot disks every time one dies. (I have much better karma
with hard disks) 
So, now I'm running 1.2.13. I'll check tomorrow to see if the system will
stay up over night.

Back to the original problem. My /etc/init.d/boot script does not have the
run-parts line in it. I do have the 0setserial script in /etc/rc.boot.
Where should the run-parts line go? 
Do you need to see a copy of what I have in /etc/init.d/boot? 
Can I just stick the setserial line in place of run-parts?

Thanks for all your help! You have been a wonderful resource, and I really
appreciate it.

Thanks again,
YHS, Dale
