Scott,

Thanks for the link, but I've already added the "vga=791 
noreplace-paravirt" to the grub startup, and most of the rest aren't 
applicable - lenny installed ok.  And BTW, I also had to change 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf as indicated on 
http://wiki.debian.org/MicrosoftVirtualPc2007/lenny.

It's working to some extent.  But I can't figure out why ps would work 
in single user mode but not when I boot normally.
