I had originally ordered BSDI to install on a 486DX50 EISA with 256k cache. It wouldn't load at all in the floppy boot stage. If I turned off the cache, then the floppies would boot, and the OS loaded fine, but performance was abysmal. I then built a new kernel from scratch off the hard disk, installed it, and after that, I could turn my cache back on, and things hauled butt. On the other hand, I have never had any problems with 386bsd and cache on my machine that I can recall. -- Jaye Mathisen, COE Systems Manager (406) 994-4780 410 Roberts Hall,Dept. of Computer Science Montana State University,Bozeman MT 59717 osyjm@cs.montana.edu
