- I'm having a problem with the 386BSD "Tiny" install. The install
- appears to work correctly, but when I boot off the hard drive, I get the
- following messages:"Copying RAM area to device 1, ofsset 0"
- "Press any key to abort Bad Device" and then the system reboots. I won't
- swear
- to the word-for-word accuracy of the messages, because they are only
- visible
- for a fraction of a second. I've got a 486/50 with a 124M IDE (Maxtor).
- It is
- in two 62M partitions at the moment, and is listed as a user-defined drive
- with
- the specs that Maxtor recommends. Any ideas on how I can get around this
- problem?
