I tried these disks, but I still can't install BSD 0.1 on my Zenith Z-386/25. Machine info: 150M ESDI drive, wd ethernet card irq 2/9, vga, com 1, com 2. 386DX 25Mhz, no fpu. Install info: install using the patched and non-patched dist.fs disks. When installing, it seems to write to the hard drive fine. If I hit ^C when it wants to reboot, I can mount the filesystem and everything seems to work. However, it locks during reboot. The keyboard lights flash, and the floppy light stays on. It requires a power cycle to make it come back to life. Details: partition 1 is a 100M DOS partition. the rest should be BSD-386. I plan on NFS mounting most everything from a DECstation.
