If anyone can answer this, post response here or email it to me and I will forward it. * * * I'm having a problem with the 386BSD "Tiny" install. The install appears to work correctly, but when I boot off the hard drive, I get the following messages:"Copying RAM area to device 1, ofsset 0" "Press any key to abort Bad Device" and then the system reboots. I won't swear to the word-for-word accuracy of the messages, because they are only visible for a fraction of a second. I've got a 486/50 with a 124M IDE (Maxtor). It is in two 62M partitions at the moment, and is listed as a user-defined drive with the specs that Maxtor recommends. Any ideas on how I can get around this problem?
