Message-ID: <1992Jul17.025438.7340@usenet.ins.cwru.edu> Sender: news@usenet.ins.cwru.edu Nntp-Posting-Host: cwns6.ins.cwru.edu Reply-To: Richard@doc.DSS.Com (Richard M. Warwick) Organization: Datability, Inc. Date: Fri, 17 Jul 92 02:54:38 GMT Lines: 55 I tried booting the distribution boot floppy and my system hangs. The following is a list of all (I hope) relevant information. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Machine Specs --------------------------------------- Magitronic 386 25DX 8MB RAM AMI BIOS (May 5, 1991) 5.25" & 3.5" floppies Trident TVGA BIOS (v2.1) w/1024k 3 serial (COM1,2,4) ports 1 Parallel port 1 110 Meg HD Western Digital RLL controller BIOS OPTIONS -------------------------------------- Display type: VGA/PGA/EGA HD memory Area: 0:300 All shadow memory areas: disabled HD type: 47 (960Cyl, 9Hds, 26S/T) Fast gate a20 option: disabled BOOT TIME MESSAGES --------------------------------------- 386 BSD Release 0.1 [etc.] Copyright messages ... .... PC0<color>[cursor sits here]at 0x60 on irq1 on isa COM0 at 0x3f8 irq4 on isa wd0 at 0x1f0 irq14 on isa fd0 at 0x3f0 irq6 drq2 on isa changing root device to fd0b at this point the system is hung. I have successfully booted this selfsame disk on other 386 clones. I realize that my configuration may not be currently supported, but I'm hoping that I have somehow neglected to (un)set certain option(s) that may be obvious to someone more knowledgeable than myself about 386BSD. Please reply via E-mail...I will post a summary if there seems to be any interest. -- Richard Warwick Internet: rich@b62707.student.cwru.edu Case Western Reserve U. o o rich@snowhite.eeap.cwru.edu Cleveland (YUCK!!!!), OH - rmw3@po.cwru.edu Bitnet: rich%b62707.student.cwru.edu@cunyvm
