- I just downloaded dist.fs.Z and rawrite.exe from agate.berkeley.edu, and
- after uncompressing the distribution and rawriting it to a newly-
- formatted 5.25" floppy on a vanilla 386, I can't get it to boot. It spins
- continually in the drive, and no messages come up on the screen.
-
- Anyone know what's happening?
-
- Please copy me via e-mail if anyone has an idea or suggestion.
-
- Thanks,
