Hontanon) Subject: Help booting dist.fs on my 386DX-33 Message-ID: <1993Feb23.041216.19646@alw.nih.gov> Sender: postman@alw.nih.gov (AMDS Postmaster) Organization: National Institutes of Health, Bethesda Date: Tue, 23 Feb 1993 04:12:16 GMT Lines: 27 I've tried to boot up tiny 386BSD for a long time now, and have had no success with the dist.fs from 0.1 or the one in ~/bootables at agate.berkeley.edu. Whenever I try it, it gives me the welcome banner and just hangs there, the A: drive light spinning.... Here's my configuration: 386DX-33 Mhz 4 MB RAM 105MB IDE Hard Drive Trident VGA 512K VRAM board 14.4Kbps Scout Plus modem (I'm trying to boot off of a 1.44" floppy which I format using the regular DOS format (5.0) and user rawrite to copy dist.fs) Any comments will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks a lot! Ramon -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ramon J.
