scenario: i have a compaq notebook.  i would like to have a look
   at 386bsd; however, i have not found a boot image that will
   boot this damn machine (until recently)!  i ran across the 
   fixit disk that is "specialized" for compaqs, and it works,
   but the root image for compaqs does not work (enough hint?)
   is it possible/feasible for me to do a bindist install via
   the fixit disk?  if so, and someone lend me a hand?  much
   appreciated!
