So I've gotten NetBSD 0.9 to boot fine on my machine (an old DTK 386), but
every time I try to access the disk (i.e. disklabel, newfs, etc...) I get
the error 'drive not configured.'  I get this in the installation script
even after entering the correct values for cylinders, etc...  Has anyone
experienced this problem, or can maybe offer some advice?  (BTW, this
setup doesn't work with Linux either (I tried), it always times out while
accessing the disk)  I never had any problems at all with DOS.

Somebody please take pity on me and tell me the problem, I really want to
get away from DOS! <:(

Andy
