- Im having a little problem with 386BSD,
- after booting off of either the dist.fs or the fixit.fs it only allows
- me so many commands before it starts spitting back in my face.
- The easiest way to replicate the situation is to do a ls -al.
- That works for about 13 times, after that it Memory Faults.
- The computer science part of me says that something is not getting cleaned up.
- But it works fine on my roomates system (booting up, can do the ls -al 15-20
- times without a problem, didnt try anymore after that.)
-
- My system:
- Adaptec 1542B SCSI Controller.
- Orchid Prodesigner II
- Sound Blaster Pro
- Compudyne Internal 2400 baud modem
- a no-name multi-io card (2s1p1g)
- a no-name monocrome card
- and the motherboard is a 386DX-33 (Intel) 8 megs of RAM
- as for brand name, it has a chip on the motherboard that says "CHIPS"
- but i seem to remember a manual that had the correct jumper configs that said
- "Star" on it,
- The motherboard can hold 16Megs, 8 on board, another 8 on an memory expansion
- board.
- (The abundance of motherboard info is to aid anyone in identifieing it.)
- AMI Bios.

- thanks,
- -=erik.
