AMAZING!!!  I've just gone through the same experience, even the OmniWeb
thing, but with a slightly different Hardware List.

Trying to install OpenStep 4.1 on a PC:
- HSB Cheyenne (mother board), Cyrix PR166+(CPU)
- Matrox Millenium video card
- Adaptec 2940US Host Adaptor
- Quantum 2.25gig Atlas II
- SCSI 12speed (Toshiba)
- CISCO CPA0762
Exchanged the Cyrix for a  166mhz Intel P54C and all is well.
