I had no problem booting tiny 386BSD from my 3" floppy drive (also controlled by the 1542C), but after installing it on the new SCSI drive with "INSTALL", I also was not able to boot from the hard disk. I have a generic 386/33Mhz machine with a "turbo" switch that allows me to switch between 12 and 33MHz. After a week of diddling I discovered I could boot 366BSD from the hard drive if I switched to 12MHz, ie go to 12MHz after you hit the reset button, then when 386BSD boots up, go back to 33MHz.
