- I am trying to install 386BSD on my harddisk, but, although the TinyBSD floppy
- boots OK, the system hangs with both the harddisk and floppy disk lights on,
- when booting off the harddisk after running install.
- When I switch to a lower clock rate, (FAQ Aug 09), the system sometimes boots,
- and sometimes doesn't. When it does, it crashes right thereafter and reboots,
- leaving me too little time to read its last message.
-
- I have tried this with both the original dist.fs, and the patched ones from
- agate.berkeley,edu (unofficial/newbootables/cgd/dist.fs and
- unofficial/terry/new-bootables/dist.starlan.cmos.fs), with the same results.
-
- (I've got a Tulip 386SX 20MHz, with ISA bus, 4Mb RAM, 100Mb harddisk,
- and no special equipment, except for a mouse.
- I am installing 386BSD on my second harddisk partition (50Mb). The first
- one holds MSDOS (30Mb) and so does the third one (20Mb))
-
- Does anybody hava a clue ?
-
- Thanks,
- Rogier.
