>Description:
System will not establish parallel printer port. Port works fine with  
Win95 and OpenBSD and Linux.      
>How-To-Repeat:
Constant, never configures parallel port.
>Fix:
I believe it to be a problem with the Loader (unknown). If you could ref
me to the correct boot.conf, I would be willing to try anything!
