- I have posted my problem of booting up Tiny 386BSD disk. Since I
- am waiting some testing results from the 386bsd developers and hoping
- to get some help from other netters, I kept following this group VERY closely.
- From the articles posted to the net, I found (a wild one?) that there is one
- common hardware component that was mentioned in almost every atticle.
- That is, the OPTI chip set (or AMI bios made for Magitronic).
-
- Thus, I'll like to conduct a survey about this questionable motherboard.
- Please, if you have OPTI chip set or see a msg like AMI bios for Magitronic,
- drop me a line if you have or have not successfully booted 386BSD-0.1 up? I'll
- post a summary in a week. Thanks!
-
- Please email your msg to jlu@cs.umr.edu.
