Yeah, well, I feel pretty stupid now. After first trying the original
Red Hat boot floppy, I had left the CD in, and never noticed the
machine was booting from the CD instead of the updated boot floppy.. ;)

The 2300 is now humming along in Linux, it'll just take me a few days
to verify everything is in order and to move data over, and I'll have
a new server in production. The old machine couldn't handle all the
disks any more. Thanks! ;)
