I've been trying to install 386bsd on my hard drive but it's not recognising it,
as far as it's concerned my hard drive doesnt exist. I am using the 0.1 dist.fs
tinybsd disk.
Here is my system configaration:
386sx33Mhz,4meg of Ram
16bit MFM hd + 2floppy controller
Maxtor xt1140 MFM hard drive formatted to 119Meg,3.5/HD floppy drive
Trident 1Meg VGA card,Multi i/o card

It says in the installation notes that if the system cant read the hard drive 
you should check the drive connections,but at the moment I'm running MSDOS )-:
and having no problems.

Do I have to have a special driver or something?  

Rob.
