I had this problem with SCO Xenix on my clone and went crazy til SCO admitted
there was a problem with some machines switching modes to address above 1 meg.
(The loader tries to switch to high memory and fails and since both loader and
/xenix won't fit in in 640k, it reboots.  SCO has a slow boot mod they will send
(somewhat reluctantly in my case) and I will uuencode and mail to those who have
a problem.  I assume SCO won't mind since it will only affect those who already
have Xenix.

Could someone send me mail and let me know if this gets out since I've had
problems getting from this host to the net and am not sure if it's fixed or not
