- Yes, it is explained in INSTALL.NOTES. (When in doubt, read the
- manual!) In order to set up the disk again, this time with both
- PC-DOS and 386BSD partitions, I had to use both methods documented
- in INTSTALL.NOTES:
-
- Tiny 386BSD: # cat /386bsd > /dev/ras0d
- PC-DOS: A:>fdisk /mbr
- (then run fdisk to create primary DOS partition)
-
- The order above is important. First I tried just fdisk /mbr, which
- seemed to work okay for DOS, but then when I tried to reinstall
- 386BSD, install went into an endless loop. After following the steps
- above, in that order, I was able to get both PC-DOS (IBM DOS J5.0/V -
- Japanese DOS/V) and 386BSD set up.
