I know many people have got similar problems. I would like to have DOS and 386BSD
co-exist on my 80MB hard disk, with 32MB reserved for DOS and the rest for 386BSD.
After booting up with the installation floppy, I ran install and was told to remove
the floppy in order to boot off the hard disk. But what I got was an endless booting
loop. This does not happen when installing on the entire disk. Would anyone please
tell me what's wrong?
My configuartions are:
Machine: 80386DX-33 with 4M ram
Two IDE hard disks: 1) Miniscribe 7080 AT (80M)
2) Conner Peripherals 170MB hard disk
OS: MSDOS 5.0
I've already checked the FAQ but don't seem to find the answer.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Savio Lam.
