: I found the problem.  I was using a 2.0.5-ALPHA boot disk instead of
: the RELEASE version.  I upgraded the boot disk, and everything worked
: fine.

We have the same problem using the 2.0.5-RELEASE diskette on one aging
POC 386 machine.  Booting with /kernel -c and disabling npx0 works around
it.
