I thought I would share my success story in installing the 0.1 release,
pointing out that not everybody has big problems.
Setup: 386/33MHz/64Kb cache, generic taiwan brand
105Meg quantum 105LPS ide drive
WD8003E
Targa SuperVGA card
I got the dist.fs image to my sun at work, dd:ed it to a floppy, and went
home and booted. So far so good. Then I attempted to load the bin01 via
ftp. No luck, OK, I had already read in news about trouble eith wd8003
colliding with isolan card or whatever. So, out on floppy with bin01, and
on to my disk. Installed fine. Extract kernel sources from src01 on my sun,
down to floppy and onto the bsd system. Rebuild the kernel, removing unused
drivers. Reboot. Voila ! It works. Too bad I had to leave for vacation
the next day......
Looks quite stable too !
