Not after burning it.  Actually never thought of md5'ing /dev/acd0.

However, I did just download 5.2.1-release-miniinst.iso, and it did boot.  

It appears different from the same thing d/l-ed a week ago, and there was 
one PR about the MD5s being incorrect, but that appeared to have been
fixed before I started booting this darned Compaq.

Anyway, looks as if I'm back to fighting with the 1850, and not the ISOs!
