Anyway, I just tried reinstalling DOS. I was able to produce a DOS partition (386BSD occupied my entire disk), format it and install the dos system onto it. When I then tried to reboot the machine off of the hdisk (thus DOS), my system can no longer boot off of the hdisk! It simply resets again and again after trying.... Could it be that the some part of the 386BSD boot strap on the hdisk is still there? When I fdisked the hdisk in DOS everthing seemed to work fine. Any help, comments would be appreciated.
