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
