[comp.os.minix] Minix & Hauppauge & Award BIOS

Does anyone have Minix 1.5 running on a Hauppauge 386/20 motherboard
with Award BIOS 3.03a ? (386 Modular BIOS Level 1.81)
To complicate matters I have a Seagate ST296N SCSI disk and ST02 adapter.
I have attempted to boot the machine with the Universal Boot disk and a
boot disk built with with Magnus Doell's SCSI (ST02) wini.c. Both times
the boot diskette is read quickly and the BIOS displays a simple message:

PRESS A KEY TO REBOOT

The fact that the message comes from the BIOS suggests to me that the
BIOS is acting unusually.
If anyone can give me some clues, they will be most appreciated.
