 Chris knows about these already - he thought he had fixed them before.

 Did you put a HD or DD disk in the drive? The ID is based on the type
of disk in the drive when it boots. If I have a HD disk in the floppy on
my A4000, it is recognized as 3.5hd. I haven't tried booting without a
floppy in the drive (the drive is a handy place to keep the floppy I've
been using to transfer the kernel from one system to the other).
