Ok, I have a question I need to have answered.  I tried installing 386BSD the
other day with no success.  Here is what I want to do:

Install BSD on a hard disk partition (would have been F) in DOS, so that it
looks like:

Primary Partition 20meg
Extended Partition 320meg

Then the extended partition has three logical partitions, each about 106meg,
the first two are to be formated for DOS, and the last logical partition is
for BSD.  Is this possible?

Also is it possible to have both DOS and BSD on the system?  Thanks.  Oh and
one other quick question.  I know it is 386BSD, but is it possible to put it
on a 286?

Thanks,
Ryan Snodgrass
