I have succeeded in bringing up the system when I gave it the entire disk (I was able to ftp bindist/bin01*; extract did not terminate after 1 hr, but the system behaved properly), but when I try part of the disk, install goes fine, but when I reboot from the hard disk, the boot messages come up, and then a message about copying 1 Meg of memory somewhere (it always disappears before I can decipher it), and the machine reboots again and again and again. I would appreciate advice from anyone who has succeeded in installing 386BSD 0.1 on a hard disk (Maxtor 4380 with ESDI controller, AMI 486 Mk? motherboard with 8 Mb, ATI VGAwonder board) that contains two (or even one) DOS 5.0 partition.
