Does anyone have 386BSD up on a Perstor 16AFN controller (it's basically
an RLL controller).

386BSD 0.1 makes filesystems on it and hangs when you go to boot.
Netbsd 0.8 (I think it was) fails to make the file system.

I put Linux on it and it worked... I then upgraded that box to run
with an Adaptec and stuff.  I'd like to get a taste of *BSD and then
upgrade the box if it looks good.

I've run both SysIII, SysV, BSD4.X and SunOS boxes -- this isn't another 
BSD-Linux flame.

I'm interested in giving the *bsd stuff a work out since I kind of prefer
some of the BSDisms -- but I can't blow $$$ on the box without a preview
look.

mail any responses to mon-se1.army.mil -- the maps to this home Linux 
box are still screwed up.  I mailed new ones and I'm working to get 
a good MX forwarder...
