- We have successfully made up a "Tiny 386BSD Installation Floppy" and booted
- it. When we run the "INSTALL" utility to format the BSD386 partition and
- copy the installation diskette to that partition, evrything seems to work
- correctly, but when we boot from the hard drive itself, BSD386 goes to sleep
- after issuing the following message : "changing root device to as0a".
-
- Environment : 486 DX 33 Mhz, 525M SCSI hard drive, first 80 M form DOS/WINDOWS
- partition.
-
- Question : Is there anyway to build a 386BSD boot diskette which can transfer
- control to the hard drive after the bootstrap process is over? We know that
- we can access the hard drive from the "Tiny 386BSD Installation Floppy"...
-
- Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
