As I see it, the installation floppies (1996-07-14) have three problems:
1) There are unresolved sysmbols in the nfs and de4x5 modules.
2) Something amiss with hostname. When I boot I get the message:
none: Host name lookup failure
at the point where boot executes
hostname --file /etc/hostname.
I have edited /etc/issue to show hostname.domain and getty comes out
with
elm.(none).
