Old World Needs an ATA Drive!

After all my travails trying to build YDL 3.0.1 on SCSI drives I bought a
$22 10GB ATA drive on ebay and installed it in my Beige G3 (upgraded).
Voila!   It all works -- almost.   Install went well and system comes up
nicely, however, I've never seen this before:

If I logon as "arch" and am in root, the prompt is: "arch@pcp04387688pcs:
/".  If I logon as 'root'  the prompt is: "root@pcp04387688pcs: /"

Also a lot of things are flaky.  When I try to assign a printer it tells me
that the name HP-6110 is "more than 127 characters".    When I tried to
bring up the email program, the little symbol whirls but the program never
opens.

Close but still no cigar.
