System: Megatronics 386SX-16 387SX (yup, bought one just for 0.0) 4MB RAM VGA monitor (SEFCO is on the manual; Trident is the Copyright in the ROMs) Seagate ST-02 SCSI / Floppy 1.44MB floppy When I boot, 386bsd thinks it recognises a WD controler out there (there is none) and hangs after mounting /dev/fd0a as root. It's my guess that it's waiting for the non-existant ISA disk to respond. I've pulled all cards but the Seagate and VGA. I think I'll try recompiling without a WD controler at all (that didn't work under 0.0, but this ISN'T 0.0) or hard-code the driver to ignore what it thinks is a controler. Glen Overby
