Well, I got "Tiny 386BSD" installed on my hard disk. I had to use
the whole disk (100MB IDE drive) since it kept panicing and going
into an infinite reboot/panic loop.
This was the summary for those who wanted to know how the problem was
solved.
Onwards to the next problem:
I have installed an NE2000 Novel ethernet card. BSD detects it fine, but
I'm unable to use it to ftp over the rest of the distribution. I even
tested it on another card (an NE1000). I know the line is fine because
we're currently using it on a NeXTstation. So it seems the problem is
with either the user (me) not knowing how to get it working even though
he did follow TFM, or that there is something wrong with the software.
Can someone who's ftp'd the rest of the distribution in this way please
contact me and explain what they did and what I need to do?
As I've said before, this will be IIT's 386BSD testbed, serving as an
experience platform for our researchers, which I'm told is the goal of
386BSD.
Regards,
Pred Bundalo
