	I wish to tack a corollary on to this suggestion:  If it
*does* boot, put all the cards back in and remove them one at a time.
See if there are one, two, or three potential combinations of removed
cards that allow the system to boot.  Your goal is to isolate
variables, and yanking out *all* the cards narrows them down to a very
limited degree.
