I've pulled every card out of the box with the exception of the video card and that can't be a problem since none of the three I tried made any difference. The Tiny 386BSD floppy boots to the point of displaying the 4 line banner and hangs with the floppy still spinning along. From here only hardware reset will reboot the machine, <CTRL><ALT>DEL doesn't do the trick. I have turned off all BIOS shadowing and disabled the secondary cache, to no avail. Specifics on the motherboard and configuration: Mylex MDI 486-33 Motherboard - Mylex BIOS V6.09, OPTI chipset 256K External Cache 8-1Meg SIMMS Diamond Speedstar VGA w/1Meg RAM Adaptec 1542B SCSI HA Has anyone else been able to boot 0.1 with this motherboard or can think of something I've missed? Thanks in advance, Terry Jones jones@cs.buffalo.edu
