(Thanks for the replies to my previous questions.)
Well, it appears that the boot problem has to do with the
memory being cleared, because if I boot it COLD, which I have to
load the CMOS mod. program and boot from there to do, it works
fine.
A few things I have run into and not seen on the FAQ
1) mdir does not want to work. All the other mtools work but
mdir gives an error saying something about init: unable to open
(Sorry my errors are not more exact, but BSD is at home and I am
here, and the two just ain't connected. But I'll try to fix that :)
2) I still can't figure out what I can't reboot from 386BSD. Everything
just locks the computer up, from Ctrl-Alt-Del, to having 386BSD tell
me that it is rebooting.
3) Is there a list of what has been ported to 386BSD?
4) How compatiable is compiling programs for BSD Unix 4.3 or whatever
with using it on 386BSD?
Thanks, sorry to be a pain...
