 Engineer's Comments 

The sound card (C54232) was correctly identified and configured.

 System Partitioning 

The fdisk successfully created the system partition.

 System Installation 

TurboLinux 3.0 does not properly install on SCSI systems. It installs SCSI support as a module, which causes installation on SCSI-based systems to fail. The default boot process was altered by using a custom boot that Pacific Hightech (currently, TurboLinux) made available.

 Video Adapter: Diamond Fire GL1 with 8MB

The video adapter was correctly identified as being supported by XFree86 and the system was configured accordingly.
