I decided to give 386BSD a try.[Currently I am using Linux]
Donwloaded the dist.fs and rawrite it to a disk.
Boot the machine, the drive keeps on spinning ...
nothing on the screen.
I downloaded the file again 3 times, to make sure I didn't forgot
to use the binary (etc.). It still won't boot...
Help.
Machine: Gateway 2000 386SX/16 Meg.
PS: A friend of mine told me he had similar problem.
He 'solved' this by going to the CMOS setup, do nothing,
and boot the machine. It works on his machine but not mine.
