Hello, it's me again. I am having a bit of trouble with my 386bsd
system (0.1 + pk 0.2.3). Whenever I boot up or reboot, the first thing
the system tells me (before 386bsd 0.1 tagline) is:
cyl 0 0 hd 0 sect 0 dev 4 unit 0 off 296960
It will often (not always, though) hang after this when I boot up cold
(i.e. after leaving the system off overnight). My HDD is a TOSHIBA
MK438FB 830 MB with 692 cylinders, 15 heads, 75 sectors, and 512 bytes
per sector (info stolen from the report given by Julian's SCSI drivers).
What is going on, and can I fix it somehow?
Thanks in advance,
Chris Mikkelson
