- I have two IDE drives on my system. Presently drive 0 is dedicated
- to MSDOS and drive 1 to Linux. As I am experimenting with Linux at
- the moment, I have a Linux boot floppy which sets things up to use
- drive 1 (yes, there are other ways to do it, let's not get into that
- now). I can boot MSDOS in the usual fashion.
-
- I'd like to try 386BSD using a similar setup. Is this possible? If
- so, how? When I boot from the "tiny" floppy, it reports finding
- drive 0 (my MSDOS drive), but not drive 1 (my Linux drive).
-
- [Is there a 386BSD FAQ? If so, where is it?]
-
- [p.s. I like Linux a lot, but have the time and inclination to try
- 386bsd. Don't read anything into this that isn't there.]

- tia,
