I have installed 386bsd and applied patches 1-58 (there are more?)

I modified the GENERICISA config file to 
	1) enable the XSERVER patches.
	2) enable the WD8013 patches.
	3) move my ethernet card up to 0x300, IRQ 10, 0xCC000
and config'd, compiled and installed the new kernel.

Now, when I do a warm reboot, it tries to force the floppy to boot
(I don't get the normal pboot menu, but instead, it tells me there
is no floppy in the drive, insert one and hit a key.  If I hit a key,
it repeats itself.  Never even tries to boot off the HD)

Anyone run across this problem before?  Any idea how to fix it?

ps: 

Thanks to all the folks that responded to my earlier questions about
the WD8013 board.  It finally worked!
