I am also having trouble booting the tiny BSD floppy.
The fixit floppy boots and gets to the prompt, but installation
floppy sits there with no banner and the floppy light stuck on.
I have a 486/50 board, 16MB, Seagate 170MB IDE, ATI Graphics Ultra+,
Viewsonic 7e, SMC/WD Elite 16, Ultrastor 14F w/CD-ROM and HP DAT.

Thanks
