Allison,
It sounds like you need the .adf file for that particular piece of
hardware. Once the adapter definition is installed on your system
(think of it as a bios extension). Things should boot okay then.
Try NCRs site:
http://www3.ncr.com/support/pc/pcdesc/library/adfs.shtml
They have .adf files for all kinds of stuff.
Another decent PS/2 site with all sorts of general info is:
