Basically, using the 'install' command on the boot floppy, a partition is formatted and several files copied over to it. Then, the system reboots and uses the hard disk to start up 386BSD. Unfortunately, the system encounters a trap early on and reboots again (without giving me time to see what the trap numbers are!) I believe I could boot from a floppy, and mount the hard disk to investigate the problem. However, I'm not sure how to do so. I have the following system: 386-33 AMD processor 8 megs ram Maxtor drive Amir.
