Hi all.

I have been trying to install 386BSD 0.1 in my Mylex EISA machine.
It seems that the install program sets up the filesystem correctly
but it does not finish installing.  It just hangs up on me.  When
I invoke install, it formats the HD and then writes some files
to HD.  But then, after about a minute of activity, just hangs up.
If I type CTRL-C, it displays the initial welcome message.

Did anyone here had same problem?  My machine config is :

	486 EISA machine - Mylex
	32 M RAM
	1.44 M FDD - A Drive
	1.2 M FDD  - B Drive
	1.0 Gig SCSI HD
	Adaptec 1542 Controller
	WD Elite Ethernet Card
	Trident SVGA (8900) card

I remove all the other cards - Tape Drive, Multi-I/O card ...

Any ideas?

Dan.
