- I seem to have a problem booting that is timing dependant. My machine will
- boot off wd0 about 95 % the time when in low speed mode. In high speed (33MHz)
- it boots only about 20% of the time.

- My equipment:
- 386-33 Advanced Integration Research motherboard (1 CHIPS & 2 ETEQ VLSIs)
- Quantum 105lp IDE
- Trident 8900 vga
- Novell Ne2000 ethernet

- I started to poke around in the boot stuff. I put a printf at the begining of
- boot.c. I rebuilt wdboot and bootwd and then re-disklabeled. I verified that
- boot.c was not reached when the boot failed. When it succeeded, I saw my
- debugging message. My 80x06 assembly is a bit rusty, so I hesitated to
- plunge into wdbootblk.c. Before I do this, I wonder if anyone can give me any
- possible stategies.

- Thanks, Greg greg@megas.ecse.rpi.edu
