Organization: Cortex Corporation, Waltham, MA, USA Message-ID: <1992Oct9.185010.1@cortex> Lines: 23 Sender: nobody@ctr.columbia.edu Date: Fri, 9 Oct 1992 23:50:10 GMT X-Posted-From: cortex.prospect.com NNTP-Posting-Host: sol.ctr.columbia.edu Greetings, Somebodyhelpmeplease!!!!!! I spent a few day trying to get 386bsd on a Compudyne 486/33 one IDE drive that all DOS, and a SCSI drive for 386bsd. I got past the problems with partitioning and all that, and finally got the bin01 stuff in the /tmp directory. When I run extract, it tells me that ALL of the bin01.* files is corrupt, and doesn't go any further. I downloaded everything as binary, and am really at a loss at what to do next. I'm booting from a minimal hard disk distibution, there is not much on the system to help me. ( I know DOS much better that *nix ) What do I do ? Format the SCSI drive as a second DOS disk ? :-) Thanks and regards, Peter -- Peter C.
