I'm having a lot of trouble trying to boot the Tiny BSD floppy.
I've got a Packard Bell Force386sx with the Phoenix 80386 ROM BIOS PLUS
version 1.10 01.  I'm also using a 200 Mb Western Digital HD and a Seagate
40 Mb HD, both IDE.

When I try to boot, the disk drive just keeps going (no banner message or
anything), and just sits there.  I've tried the original 0.1 dist.fs bootable,
then the 0.2 patch kit bootable (from agate.berekeley.edu, patch-kit directory),
and finally the dist.fs bootable with the ATT-HP Vectra patch in the 
unofficial/newbootables/terry/old directory.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
