> 1)  How is the new HD partitioned out?
Currently, 2G for dos at the beginning of the disk.  The only thing on it right
now is the hibernation file and command.com.  No other partitions until I get
this figured out.  For now I'm just booting off floppy until I get this working.
I've tried 2G, 3G, 4G partitions in various places on the disk.

Should be.

FAT32.  I tried a 4G FAT16 partition but it didn't work.

Oh yeah.  Done that quite a few times now. ;)

> 4)  What is your system configuration (RAM, kernel version)?
192MB RAM, same HD you have.  2.2.16 & 17 have been tested.  Was using BIOS 62,
but downgraded to 60 because I had updated to 62 at the same time I got the new
drive and wanted to make sure that wasn't related.

The really interesting thing I discovered this evening is that hibernation
worked when I booted from a freebsd floppy...
