Ok, I've tried to get any compaq to boot the 0.1 install disk.  
They just won't!  The system will just reboot over an over, never
displaying the 386bsd banner etc.  I downloaded the kcfloppy-genisa.fs
kernel and that would boot up to the point of copy the kernel to your
hard disk, then poof, reboot.

Any ideas here?

Thanks,

Steve
