Hello,
I've been running 386BSD here for about a week.  Here is the system I'm running it on (Note: this system has ran everything I've given it)..       
                
                 386SX-16 (Beaver Tech out of CA)
                 6 megs (70ns)
                 Oak VGA 512K
                 Clone IDE & floppy controller
                 WD Caviaur(sic) 80MB HD
                 1.2 & 1.44 FD
                 Clone Multi-IO card
Dos has 16 Megs and BSD has 65.  No problems with the install but later the com
port kept reporting silo overflows so I got one of the patches for the com problems and just patched the kernel.  

Now for my question...
Has anyone written anything like a guide to whats what in the kernel?  What
I mean is if I want to find out where to go modify the file system where would
I look?  (Yes I know, I go file by file and look but....)

BTW: to my last question (Emacs type editor), Jove works fine when compiled as
for a 4.3BSD system, You just have to define stty and gtty (Someone posted it
a couple of days ago but I don't remember the name... thanks for the help)
