A couple days ago I asked for help getting my WD8003 card working.  I
now have it working, so I am posting the results, in case others have
a similar problem.

My lan would hang when I tried to make a connection to another machine,
and any incoming packets would give a 'reject 65531' message.  Peter
Cooper suggested by email that there might be a conflict in the kernel
with one of the other lan card drivers.  I removed the other lan card
drivers from the configuration and then re-configured the kernel, and
now the lan works fine.

I haven't heard any comments from anybody as to where the screen timeout
and size options on the floppy boot come from.  Any suggestions on how
to set this up on a standard system would be appreciated.
