I have a 25MHz 386DX that I purchased about three years ago. I bought it mail order and have no idea as to the make. When I insert the tinyBSD boot disk and reboot, the drive just spins and nothing happens. I seem to remember seeing something about older 386 clone motherboards and problems with running 386BSD. If this is in the FAQ stuff, can someone tell me when the FAQ's will be posted? Thanks for the info.
