Summary: Possible fix for hang  g 
Lines: 21

Hi,

I've noticed alot of quesions about the system hanging after the kernel
floppy is booted.  This can be caused by two things.
1. The floppy that you have the first file system on is BAD.
   This is the problem that I had!  I just re-rawrited the image
   onto a freshly formated disk and it worked fine.
2. ***BSD may not run on your system.  This is possible if you have
   an oddball machine.  
If you have a machine that other people are running ***BSD on I
would look at 1.
