Congratulations to all of you wonderful programmers for this treat!
Wow!  I have been trying to install 386BSD on my 486/33 8M/535M HD
and have some problems, primarily they are:

1.  I can't find anywhere the procedure for installing XFree86 with
	a Logitech bus mouse (irq5).  I did manage to get XFree86 to
	recognize a serial mouse.  
2.  Whenever I invoke xinit with the Logitech settings (in Xconfig)
	Logitech	"/dev/com1:
	etc..
	My screen is shifted to graphics mode, and is never restored when
	X dies.  I have to sync;shutdown to restore my screen.  when I
	comment out the Logitech device driver, the screen is not corrupted.
	Why?
3. I now have the message, when I invoke xinit:
	...
	VGA256: SpeedUp mode selected (Flags=0x3f)

	Fatal Server error:
	could not open default font 'fixed'
	XIO:  fatal IO error 32 (...

	I have two font directories, 75dpi, and misc which were in the 
	orig distribution.  Neither has any font named, 'default'.  What
	am I missing here?

thanks!
