I thought that some people might be interested in various systems and
configurations that work. I'm running 0.1 on an AT&T(sorry) 6386E/20
system with a busted internal async port and two 135-Meg ESDI hard
disks that are in the process of developing bad sectors that I can't
get rid of now because sector forwarding was not turned on when I
first set up the disks. The system seems to work quite well, but for
lots of slio overflows (the working com port uses an 8250) when
running SLIP. I haven't yet finished writing the StarLAN/i82586
Ethernet driver, but I hope to have it done by the end of next week.
Here is the configuration I use. Someday, maybe I'll hack `config' to
get the disk drives right (or at least add a message ``don't forget to
add your extra drive in ioconf.c'')... MFS works quite well,
especially since I configured *way* too much swap for this machine (32
Meg, four times ram size) so I have plenty of space to spare.
