I am new to 386BSD, having just installed 386BSD
release 0.1. Everything appears to work fine, except 
for the shutdown command to active my dos partition.

Example:
Using the command
./shutdown -todos   (in the /usr/distbin directory)
results in the message
"Can't make dos bootable".

As I use dos and UNIX fairly equally, this problem
is very annoying (to say the least!).

Can anyone offer some advice as to what the problem
might be, and/or some suggestions on how to get
around it.

Thanks

Dave
