This is a desperate plea for help. I have a Zenith 386/SX-16 with 6
of RAM, an 80MB hd that because of ZBIOS is only 76MB. I have successfully
installed 386BSD on a Z386/20, and booted the Tiny disk in another machine
with the exact same configuration. I have already deleted my DOS partition,
and I would like to use the whole drive for BSD, in order to create a patched
kernel for the machine that is already working. I don't remember the exact 
drive that I have installed, but it is an IDE 80M (Possibly Maxtor). Any help
would be greatly appreciated

BTW...It works pretty well on the Z386, but that damn com port bug is a problem.
