I have tried to install the 386BSD .1 system from a SCSI CDROM but
  the extract program does not like to extract files from other than
  the "/tmp" dir.  The doc's say to read the install from CDROM 
  information but I am unable to find this doc.  I have the info magic
  CD Vol 2.  The system will install from the floppy drive but not from
  the CD.  I could copy all of the files from the CDROM to the "/tmp"
  directory but why waste the space even for a short time.  I have plenty
  of disk space and ram, 400 Meg/32 Meg and have a 1542B.

Please e-mail me with your thought's.

Sincerely
Tom.......
