 Thanks for the reply,
 
 I put hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" in /boot/device.hints.
 
 When the boot floppy was inserted the second time, it loaded acpi.ko.
 Choosing the default boot at this point is the same as with acpi enabled.
 Choosing safe mode at this point allowed the machine to boot OK.
 
 I expected changing device.hints to stop use of acpi.
 
 The system then went into a continuous loop displaying "SCSI reset
 detected", I think.  It was a continuous scrolling message of about 4
 lines. I could not stop it.  Disconnecting all devices from the SCSI
 port did not change the situation.
 
 So, I have an old, broken acpi and a broken SCSI interface.  Please close
 the PR.
 
 Thank you,
 tomdean
