- Well, I got "Tiny 386BSD" installed on my hard disk. I had to use
- the whole disk (100MB IDE drive) since it kept panicing and going
- into an infinite reboot/panic loop.
-
- This was the summary for those who wanted to know how the problem was
- solved.
-
- Onwards to the next problem:
-
- I have installed an NE2000 Novel ethernet card. BSD detects it fine, but
- I'm unable to use it to ftp over the rest of the distribution. I even
- tested it on another card (an NE1000). I know the line is fine because
- we're currently using it on a NeXTstation. So it seems the problem is
- with either the user (me) not knowing how to get it working even though
- he did follow TFM, or that there is something wrong with the software.
-
- Can someone who's ftp'd the rest of the distribution in this way please
- contact me and explain what they did and what I need to do?
-
- As I've said before, this will be IIT's 386BSD testbed, serving as an
- experience platform for our researchers, which I'm told is the goal of
- 386BSD.
