I'm trying to get 386BSD working on an IBM PS/2 Model 40 SX.  Before I
get half a dozen letters, this machine _does_ have an AT bus, not that
MicroChannel thing.  Anyway, it's a 386SX 16 Mhz with 6 megs of
RAM, a 3.5" floppy, and a 80 meg IDE disk.

I got myself a copy of the boot floppy (agate:/pub/386BSD/386bsd-0.1/bootables)
and booted.  The boot banner appeared, and it found the com port
display, and floppy drive, but not the hard drive.  It got to the
# prompt, and then locked up real good.  ctl-alt-del didn't work;
had to reboot.

Anyway, help would be appreciated.
