Hi,

	First off thanks to the following people for the very speedy
responses. Infact they came in so quickly I thought my mail was bouncing
=]

Dr. Alan Rollow 
Leo Bicknell        
Mick Kappler 

	Leo had the solution to my problem. Basicly I had the ram seated
in the following manner:

slot	slot (filled)
slot	slot (filled)
    [Front of machine]

	This lead to all sorts of problems, such as 24megs of ram being
seen as 32megs and fsck causing the cpu to panic.

	When it should have been seated as:

slot (filled)	slot (filled)
slot		slot
   [Front of machine]

	Unfortunetly, when I obtained the machine I did not get any
documentation other than the monitor guide, I did manage to get the
original 2 user hardware license with it. Go figure. Anyways thanks again
for the responses and advice.
