- Ok, I got the new binaries (I've tried dist.fs-noIS.debug, dist.fs-noIS,
- and dist.fs) and now my Z-386/25 boots... And boots... And boots...
-
- I get some sort of panic right after the floppy found message, and have NO
- idea what the rest says, other than a "trap 12" or something like that...
- the blasted thing clears the screen too quickly!
-
- This is the same problem I had on my PC at home (386 clone) and only
- seemed to appear when I use a partition rather than the entire disk for
- 386.
-
- It seems that 386BSD might not quite have the partition thing down yet...
-
- Thanks to Chris for providing that kernel! Now I can compile at home, and
- I'm getting closer on the Z-386!
