I have installed 386BSD on my Gateway 2000 486/33 with no problems and it
works great.  I want a larger swap partition than the default 5 MB though.
I can successfully boot the fixit floppy, set up the partitions with
disklabel, and newfs partiton a, but don't know the correct approach to
continue with the manual installation.  How do I go about getting the
386BSD base system over to the newly made partition?  Is it possible to
run the install program without having it overwrite my partiton table?
If someone could point me in the right direction I would be eternaly
greatful.

Sorry if this is a novice question.   Where is the 386BSD FAQ list
anyway?

Thanks in advance,
