I never got a menu. I had to use boot params in LILO. BTW, I did try to
figure out how to get the damned menu, but all the things I tried had
_absolutely_NO_effect_. Maybe it's my kernel (1.3.76), or maybe it's my
card, or something else I can't think of now. But, this should work just
fine (hi-res video and Mitsumi CD-ROM), and it doesn't. The CD-ROM driver
has never freaked like that before (my drive is on address 340 hex and
IRQ 10, and the kernel reported "No drive found at 0x340,10".).
