Neither the kern.flp from 3.2 or 3.3 will boot at all the boot.flp from
2.2.8 will start to load the kernel then die befor the segment sizes are
shown.

I saw the note on device probing on a compaq and that does not seem
the prob with 3.X but might be with 2.2.8.

 What does "will not boot at all" mean? You stick the floppy in the drive
 and the machine won't power on? :-)
 
 Please describe exactly what you see.
 
 Ciao,

 As I told seldon it is does not appear to be a BIOS issue.  This was
 verified via:
 
 1) Booted fine off a DOS floppy
 2) Partial boot on a 2.2.8 boot.flp
