Well, I briefly tested my disk, everything worked fine (at least with
minimal, 853 / DISPLAY + KEYB only, stuff). But I wasn't using raw or
EMM386, only XMS (via XMGR).

Mined increased a bit, and --ultra-brute is slooooowwwww (72 passes
for a 2+ MB file, blech). So I had to remove a very very tiny bit of
other cruft (luckily nothing important). Perhaps I should've
recompiled Mined -Os, but I didn't (probably not worth it). EDIT: Wha,
he's still using PMODSTUB? Heh, oh well. That's 8 kb wasted right
there, oops!

Okay, though I don't know what holiday it could be. (All I can think
of is Bastille Day, and I'm pretty sure that's not it!) US and CA
already had theirs in the past two weeks, so I guess FR etc. gotta
live it up too!   ;-)

I know this is dumb advice, but I suggest to backup your config files
and heavily simplify (no devload, lh, or anything tricky) to isolate
the problem.

Good (and 386+ is fine, let others manually install, we'll help!).

Wait until Jim has some free time (weekend?). Maybe by then Aitor can
help too. Nice to see FD 1.1 in the works!   ;-)
