^^^^^RTFM (FM=FULL MESSAGE)

First a suggestion to xyzzy:  I suggest you kill the post and redo it
highlighting the problem line in the memory printout.

As far as the data which is appearing in the `video adapter` line, could
it be possible that your system has a VGA graphics card, or some sort of
very badly cloned CGA, MGA, EGA card that does not have the ROM information
located in the proper location for what Waffle expects?  

Does Waffle look at the card, or at the cmos when it does this check?
