- I have 386BSD up and running (quite nicely, for the moment) with an
- OPTi 486WB chipset
-
- 486DX/33 with 16Meg of RAM. Also with the June 91 AMI BIOS.
-
- Perhaps you're having another problem? Have you tried reseting the CMOS
- configuration to the factory defaults? You should not have to "dumb-down"
- your configuration.
