- A few days ago I posted an article asking for help in making
- the distribution diskette under DOS. Okay, I know I can compile
- a new kernel with BSD. But what happens if BSD won't boot on your
- machine? I assume before 386BSD and Linux was up and running, some
- work must have been done under DOS.
-
- There must be some way it can be done. I tried the bootables
- on agate, but no luck. Does anyone have a bootable, which writes
- to the screen at every point, from the very start, to the very end?
- When I am forced to do a hard reset, my CMOS values are all scrambled.
-
-
- Whatever ideas you have would be appreciated. Thanks.
