- I've just tried installing 386BSD on my system. I'm using dist.fs
- from the cgw newbootables, because I've got 16MB of memory. I have a
- DOS partition, an extended DOS partition, and a 386BSD partition. I
- made the 386BSD partition under Linux (which is hiding in the extended
- DOS partition), setting the partition type to a5. The install appears
- to work, but when I try to boot from the disk, I get "no operating
- system". This is a 486 with AMI BIOS. I had been using shoelace to
- boot Linux, but in case that was the trouble, I put back a DOS MBR
- using fdisk /mbr and redid everything. I still get the same result.
- Any idea what is going on?
