I realized after reading the documentation that my CDROM drive is not supported. It appears only SCSI drives are supported and only those with the Adaptec 1542 interface. Thus the Tiny BSD boot disk cannot access the CDROM to install the OS. Therefore I can either get a new CDROM drive or order 386BSD on floppies, unless there is some way to get the binaries off the CDROM under DOS to the hard drive and then install from that point. First question is "What is the most economical CDROM drive that is supported by 386BSD?". The second question is "From whom can I order binaries on floppy disk?" Any help out there?
