I Need Help with 386BSD-0.1 install

When I try to boot TinyBSD it senses the following:

"	pc0<color> at 0x60 irq 1 on isa
	com1 at 0x3f8 irq 4 on isa
	com2 at 0x2f8 irq 3 on isa
	wd0<DTC6X80> at 0x1f0 irq 14 on isa
	fd0 drives 0: 1.2M at 0x3f0 irq 6 drq 2 on isa
	npx0 at 0xf0 irq 13 on isa "


The first time I try to boot after power up I get as far as

"	changing root device to fd0a "

and a second later I get

"	trap type 18 code = 0 eip = fe055532e cs = 8 eflags = 10246
	cr 2 0 cpl 4040
	panic: trap
	hit reset please "

If I hit reset it goes through the above but further and comes up on the floppy.
I can then do most things in TinyBSD but as soon as I run install it gives me
almost the same messages as above (the differences are underlined):

"	trap type 18 code = 0 eip = fe055532e cs = fe41008 eflags = 10246
                                              ------------
	cr 2 dee0 cpl 4040
	     ----
	panic: trap
	updating disks "

My hardware is as follows:

AST Premium/386C with 4 MB ram, cache disabled, shadow ram disabled, 387 co-
processor.  (Premium 386 BIOS Ver 2.0)

Oak Technology VGA board (VGA BIOS 067 V1.03) with 512 memory

DTC 6280 ESDI disk controller running a Maxtor 4380EXT hard drive (340MB)

Hope someone can help as I have been following the group for months waiting
to get a shot at this (I just got the disk controller and drive)!
