What happens is the pc keeps rebooting upon quickly flashing the following message. 'The operating system is saving a copy of RAM memory to device 1, offset 0 (hit a key to abort) [amount left to save RAM] device bad, system rebooting'. I have a 386dx/40 w/126MB IDE drive. This problem only happens when I partion the drive between DOS 5.0 and 386bsd, when I run 'install' and tell it to use the whole drive everything is fine. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
