- I am trying to get 386bsd to run on my 486 with IDE drives.
-
- I had no problem booting 386bsd off of a floppy and installing it
- on my 40MEG partition. (It only formatted to 36 Meg)
-
- But, when I try to boot off of the HD it gets half way up - recognizes
- the devices but cannot mount the root partition so it reboot and
- starts looping and failing.
-
- Has anyone else seen then? Could it be due to my WD8003E card has IRQ 3 set?
- Could it be due to that my 40 meg partition formated to 36 meg?
-
- Thanks for any help... Getting started is sometimes the big hump....
-
- (386bsd install is such a relief from LINUX - No binary editors!)
-
-
- Thanks,
