- HELP HELP,
- Fellow 386bsd people, I am in a bit of a bind and need help on
- this one. I tryed (for a lark) installing 386bsd on to my laptop tonight,
- it is a 386sx/16 olivetti V16. Anyway the install got creamed 3/4's of the
- way through the extract, I had to go to work. I took the laptop to work
- with me and decided to reinstall DOS 5.0 back on to the hard drive. But
- I can't get the thing to boot of the hard drive even after several 'fdisk'
- sesions and diffrent combniations of primary and extended DOS drives. I
- keep getting this message :-
-
- File not found - didn't load 386bsd, will try 386bsd.alt
- File not found - didn't load 386bsd.alt, will try 386bsd.old
- File not found - didn't load 386bsd.old, will try boot
-
- The hard drive on the laptop is a conner 40meg 2 1/2" IDE drive,
- I have also tryed some disk diags to read and write all sectors but no
- luck yet. I do want to get DOS 5.0 loaded again, any idears out there ?
-
- Thanks for reading this,
