I just got a copy of Tiny 386BSD and was "install"ing it onto my hard disk.
Everything went fine until it tried to reboot off the hard disk.

It would go into a continuous crash/reboot sequence spitting out the following
on the console:

>vm_fault(fe071c9c, 0, 1, 0) -> 1
>
>type, c code fe060000
>
>trap type 12 code = fe060000 eip = fe01276a cs = 8 eflags = 10282 cr2 4 cpl 1a
>panic: trap
>
>The operating system is saving a copy of RAM memory to device 1, offset 0
>(hit any key to abort): [amount left to save (MB)] --device bad
>system rebooting

My system type: 8MB memory, 100MB IDE drive, VGA, 33MHz BELTRON 386.

I assume there's something about the IDE drive it doesn't like.  Anyone
understand how I can remedy this problem?  I'm trying to get this system
set up for IIT as a demo for students.

Thanks,
