This seems to be, unfortunately, a common problem with the 1.3 install:
somehow it gets things wrong with Adaptec SCSI controllers.

At first I thought it was a geometry problem, but it has been suggested
to me that the boot code in the MBR might be wrong, and this could
be the problem.

Could you try booting a DOS floppy and doing a "fdisk /mbr" so that
the original DOS bootcode is installed (this should leave your
partition info intact), and then try again?
