We have a Zenith 386/20, 40 M harddisk. When we load Novell shell
(IPX.COM, NET4 or XMSNET4) tsrs, we cannot reboot with either CTRL-ALT-DEL
or CTRL-ALT-INS. The machine hangs up with light on floppy drive b:.
If we do not load the Novell shell then we can reboot either way.

other particulars: 2 floppy - 3 1/2 = A:, 5 1/4 = B:
3 Meg memory though problem also occured with original 2 Meg setup.

Originally thought problem was floppy but was told that the warm boot 
wasn't clearing memory completely.  Somehow some part of the warm boot
procedure is not getting invoked because of the Novell stuff in memory.

A real nuisance because machine lacks a reset button. Anybody have any
ideas?
