I have been having some major troubles with my 386bsd box. I was trying to
add an external SCSI HD with an adaptec 1542B, but since I had an external
CD-ROM, that didn't work at all. I then installed a 1542C, and it recognized
both the internal and external HDs, but wouldn't boot 386bsd. When it tried,
a little 'b' would pop up in the upper left corner of the screen, and it would
hang. My old system would have an 'e' pop up there. I am using 386bsd 0.1
and pk 0.2.3. What is happening and are there any fixes?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
