Hi,

I'm trying to install NetBSD on an AT&T 6386E/33.  I can get as far as
writting the disk label, but while it's trying to do that, it gets
an "wd0c: extra interrupt" and never recovers.  After that when I try
to boot off the floppy it hangs trying to change the root device to fd0a. 

Does anyone have any advice?  If you need more info, please let me know.
(I'm not up on this machines hardware, but can get the info.)  I'm trying 
to install it for one of the profs here.

Please send me email as I don't read this group.

Thanks,
Kay
