I was attempting to install BSD/386 v 0.9.4 on a generic 386/33 clone,
IDE 100 MB, 8MB no co-processor system. After booting BOOT1, I am unable
to respond to the "Root device?" prompt.  The entire system is locked up,
the keyboard is dead, the Ctrl-Alt-Del key in ineffective and I have no
choice but to re-boot via reset/power switch.

If you have experienced this and cured it, please drop me an E-mail note
since we are mostly going to be closed for over a week and my new feeder
will expire any news replies before I return.

Thanks for your attention to my problem.
