  I've just tried out the Tiny 386BSD disk in a Dell 325p and it worked
fine. However, after proceeding with the install (which seemed to go
through without a hitch), I pressed ENTER to reboot and got the following
messages just after my WD8003 was detected:


vm_fault (fe071c9c, 0, 1, 0) -> 1
   type c, code fe060000
trap type 12 code = fe060000 eip = fe0127a cs = 8 eflags = 10282 cr2 14 cpl 1a
panic: trap

The operating system is saving a copy of RAM memory to device 1, offset 0
(Hit any key to abort): [ amount left to save (MB) ] -- device bad
system rebooting


(I sat here for many reboots to get this message down!)
Anyway, can anyone give me any clues as to what goes on ?
The system is:

Dell 325p (386 25MHz)
4 MB RAM
190MB IDE drive.
On-board Paradise VGA (512Kb)
3.5"  HD floppy (0)
5.25" HD floppy (1)
COM1 + COM2 (On-board)

Also I have an SMC ethernet board (WD8003), but I took that out and it
didn't make any difference. The system seems to work fine off the floppy.
