I have installed 2 32 Mbyte Partitions of MSDOS and 1 60 Mbyte for 386bsd 0.1

bootany does not work, I had to use shoelace from Minix. Shoelace for linux
should be useable. winiboot does not seem to destroy the disklabel.

For novice, beware that the floppy must be taken off from its drive completely
when 386BSD boots up.

My system is a 386DX 25Mhz with C&T386 chipset.

When I copied from fixit.fs to hard-disk, I cannot execute becuase the access
rights are only rw although umask is 0.
	Is there anyone who knows the reason for that?
