You got that one right. Exactly the same place.

Did a c-a-d to see what would happen. After the 3 minute hang (I timed it this time) the screen
filled with junk. Not garbage, snow like junk. One could tell more files were being loaded only
because the snow was moving like letters were being written. Then a trap for an exception in device
driver SINGLEQ$.

I saw this snow stuff on an earlier try. That is why I tried all three video options. It looked like
there is a video driver problem. None of the three options solved the problem.

Yes.

The first time I tried the installation I forgot to change the boot drive sequence. I simply let it
reboot and walked away (it was still on CD, A, C). When I came back it was hung. So I tried other
reboots, hardware resets, and power off and somewhere in there I saw the snow screen. Suspecting a
video problem I did other installs using the different video options. I reformated (long) each time.
Formatting does not report a problem with the media.
