A few of us had this exact same problem on PS/2 machines, and I believe
the problem ended up not being the disk drive but rather the keyboard not
being detected. A simple test, if you can do it, would be to try the
combo boot/root image, and see if it hangs or not. Sence you are using
5.25" disks (right?) I take it you don't have a PS/2 as they came with
720k drives. I believe the combo image requires at least 720k disk space,
so if you have a machine that can read a 720k disk, it may be a good test.
Hope this helps, good luck.
