I have two rather basic 8-) questions about 386BSD 0.1:
1) I want to build X11 preferably R5 for my 386. I've increased
the swap to 24MB, applied as many patches as I could find and
now I'm stuck. I know that I have to get XFree86 (probably from
agate), but do I also need the MIT X11R5 distribution? My
question is basically: what source do I need to ftp to build
X11R5 on my 386-40 (TVGA 512K, God I hope that there's a driver
for this card!)
2) I've got a Archive VP 150e tape drive (QIC150 SCSI tape) attached
to my computer via an Adaptec 1542B. There is also a 330MB disk
on the adaptec. I want to be able to do backups to tape, but I
can't get the system to admit that the tape is hooked up. There
is no output for the tape during boot, just for the hard disk.
I assume that I have to rebuild the kernel with a new config that
tells where the tape is, but I have no idea what I have to put
there. In general, how to I hook up my QIC150 SCSI tape drive
to my Adaptec 1542B?
Thanks for the help!

BTW many thanks to Terry Lambert for the patchkit! I applied all 19
patches to my system and rebuilt it in less than 30 minutes.
When are the rest of the ~30 patches coming out?
