- The TinyBSD image booted on my 50 Mhz 486/DX1 once I turned off the
- *internal* 486 cache. I have the external secondary cache enabled. Before
- that, the floppy spun forever. Unfortunately, it doesn't believe that my DPT
- EISA SCSI interface and SCSI disk has a disk attached. I can boot minix 1.3
- on this machine, and the WD1003 emulation on the DPT EISA SCSI is supposed
- to be quite good.

- Well I've run out of ideas trying to get 0.1 to boot on my
- machine. I've pulled every card out of the box with the exception
- of the video card and that can't be a problem since none of the three
- I tried made any difference. The Tiny 386BSD floppy boots to the
- point of displaying the 4 line banner and hangs with the floppy still
- spinning along. From here only hardware reset will reboot the machine,
- <CTRL><ALT>DEL doesn't do the trick. I have turned off all BIOS shadowing
- and disabled the secondary cache, to no avail. Specifics on the motherboard
- and configuration:
-
- Mylex MDI 486-33 Motherboard - Mylex BIOS V6.09, OPTI chipset
- 256K External Cache
- 8-1Meg SIMMS
- Diamond Speedstar VGA w/1Meg RAM
- Adaptec 1542B SCSI HA
-
- Has anyone else been able to boot 0.1 with this motherboard or
- can think of something I've missed?
-
- Thanks in advance,
