I'm trying to install 386BSD on a 486 w/ SCSI drive and WD8013 
Ethernet card.  I know that the (my) WD8013 card wont work after
warm boot, but I can't even get it to work at all.

It seems the the FAQ on agate is sorely out of date.  The
'patched' dist.fs bootables that are supposed to be on agate
that fix the problems with the WD8013 card are nowhere to be 
found.

Ref.tfs.com seems to be down for good, so I can't go there to
get working stuff.

And the new comp.os.386bsd newsgroups seem also to mythological.
Whats happened to all the 386BSD people out there? All I need is
one lousy patched kernal, so I can download the distribution...

AUGH!!!!
