I'm trying out the 386bsd boot disk from gatekeeper.
It boots on the very 1st time! everything works, I got the
Tiny386bsd install on my hard disk, also able to boot off the hard disk.
configuration:
Arche Technologies 386/33 APG motherboard, Arche BIOS, Arche chip-set.
8Meg RAM, Adaptec 1542b SCSI, Arche OEM VGA (w/ ET4000), wd8003e (8-bit).
The system was personally QAed by my housemate, who happened to be the
QA head of Arche. The system was previously running ESIX.
I have no affliation with Arche, except for admiring their work on
compatibility testing, which make the system boots for the very 1st time!
I'll connect the box to a Sun ethernet env. to finish up the rest of the
installation. More details later.
Thanks to Lynne , Bill and the rest of the folks out there...
