I suggest trying to start the system single user so you can poke at the console miniport, initializing the network and connecting in via telnet before letting the system continue to multi-user. You will _probably_ discover that the system is running but the graphics display is not working. If this is the case there will be some information of greater or lesser use in the system logs. I suggest trying this with 5.3 as it's a unified release you can be certain includes support for the 4D/35. The 4D/35 was introduced during the 3.3.2 days, but you will not have much success installing 3.3 and then the 3.3.2 maintenance. You need the 3.3.2 release which includes support for 4D/35 (known as 3.3.2 +1.0 4D/35). Otherwise you are looking at a 4.0.x release prior to 4.0.5, for which there isn't much to recommend. ok bear
