Ouch.  Three in a row that might cause problems, but not yet.  The EZ
drive will probably require an sbc kernel to avoid all kinds of data
corruption, but that's a good while after the thing's booted.

The ethernet card may be conflicting with the video card, and I believe
the SuperMac card was being a hassle a while back.  Try connecting the
monitor to the system's internal video.  That is, of course, assuming that
nothing else is causing problems (e.g. virtual memory, Ram Doubler,
anything else that mucks with memory in strange ways, 32 bit addressing
must be on, but the booter would have complained, etc.)

Yeah, how about wrapping at 80 columns?  :-)
