Here is a summary of the fix (it turned out to be quite simple):

	- I removed and then reseated the card in slot1. It appeared to
	  be just a simple async card, but something seemed to be different
	  about it. Don't know what, though.
	- fdisk c: (to create an *active* DOS partition)
	- sf c:/D0/S (Nortons "safe format" utility to install the system)
	- copy a:*.* c: (copy autoexec, config, etc. to the c: disk)

I would like to thank everybody who send me a reply.

Cheers,
	Bernd
