As I sit here pondering, I had some thoughts and questions..

Are you using the exact disks I put on the sourceforge site, i.e.
booting from DriveWire?  Or are you taking the drivers and making your
own disk, to boot from some other hardware?

If you're making your own disk, are you putting the drivers on a disk
with old NitrOS9, or are you also using the version of NitrOS-9 from
the disks I made (or from recent CVS)?
What is the version number?

Could you describe the other drivers used in your system, or post a
bootlist?  I wonder if you and Steven have some 3rd party hardware in
common?

Could you send me the output of the "devs" command from your system?

If you have time to think about this and help troubleshoot, great,
otherwise I'm sure this will sort itself out eventually as things tend
to do :)
