If so, are you using the 486SXWB or 486WB motherboard? I have 386BSD up and running (quite nicely, for the moment) with an OPTi 486WB chipset 486DX/33 with 16Meg of RAM. Also with the June 91 AMI BIOS. Perhaps you're having another problem? Have you tried reseting the CMOS configuration to the factory defaults? You should not have to "dumb-down" your configuration. |> I think I am experiencing bug BOOT009 in Nate Williams's bug list version 0.2, |> where all of the boot floppies lock up the system after displaying the initial |> copyright message (before listing any devices found).
