I just downloaded the tinyBSD 1.0 boot disk, and tried use it.
Everything started up correctly (COM ports detected, hard drive
detected, video detected).  As I was reading through the installation
notes file, I suddenly got the error message :

memory fault

and could no longer type anything.  I tried rebooting a few times, and
always have the same problem.

Has anybody else seen this error before?  I have a 386DX/33, with 8M
of 70ns RAM.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
