I hadn't run that, but had specified the monitor as a Hitachi CM812.

The card is an Elsa Gloria Synergy, with 4 MB of RAM.

The computer has a Pentium III running at 750 MHz, uses 320 MB of RAM, has
two hard drives (20 and 5.1 GB), a removeable hard drive for backups, one
SCSI card running a CD-ROM drive and a scanner, an ATAPI DVD/CD burner,
and a floppy drive.

In the first go at installing SL I made the mistake of letting the instal-
ler put the GRUB boot handler on the first hard disk.  This overwrote the
IBM Boot Manager there and made OS/2 inaccessible.  I finally rescued all
that drive's partitions using DFSee - a fantastic program - and now need
to re-install SL, confining it to the second hard disk.

Is there a way to invoke "system-config-display" during the install phase?

Thanks for yoyr help, Luke.
