I checked the FAQ files, but didn't see the answer...
I got the TinyBSD floppy just fine, and got it installed on the hard
drive. I've been following the instructions in the installation notes
concerning using tip and rz to download the rest of the binary
distribution. But it seems if I try to run tip at speeds higher than 2400
bps, I get some type of overflow error. (Can't remember the exact wording,
not at the machine right now) It's almost as if the serial port is not
doing any kind of flow control.
Is this what's happening? Is there a way to fix it, or am I doomed to
downloading the entire distribution at 2400 bps?
Also, is there an easier way to do this? Maybe I'm just going about this
the hard way, eh?
Thanks!
