Saker Jr.) Subject: deinstalling 386BSD 0.1 single partition Message-ID: <jsaker.715115436@cwis> Keywords: 386BSD,deinstall,DOS Sender: news@news.unomaha.edu (UNO Network News Server) Organization: University of Nebraska at Omaha Date: Sat, 29 Aug 1992 19:10:36 GMT Lines: 25 After running 386BSD 0.1 on my 486/33 system for about a month, I am forced to return to the DOS world for the semester to do COBOL work. However, when I installed 386BSD from the installer disk, I let it set up my system as one large BSD partition (where it apparently reconfigured part of the boot partition of my 212MB IDE drive). Although I went into fdisk and changed the partition to a DOS type, reformatted and restored the drive from tape backup, it's not able to boot up on its own (I can only access it after booting from floppy). Any hints on how to reset the drive to boot from C: again? Many thanks! Also, if someone out there knows of a COBOL compiler (noncommercial) for the BSD world...I'd be thrilled and wouldn't have to go back to DOS! .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..
