It's a Vobis LCD-386:

There was one on eBay early this month, too. Item # 8730903874
Now I just need to find some docs on the board. There are several
jumper sets on the motherboard, and none of them labeled, so I don't
know how to zap the BIOS yet.
And yes, I can even boot from hard disk. The generic Phoenix BIOS
setup.com from the old www.firmware.com site lets me set floppy, HDD,
and date settings, it's just not stopping the boottime error.

There were a few 386 MB's that required an external setup disk (usually
Phoenix). I'm assuming that your system will at least boot from drive A:
in some fashion? If not, you may want to zap the CMOS and see what
happens.
I may have one such diskette in my collection--I'll have a look tonight.
