- Hello!
-
- Well I have not yet received any reply's for help in installing
- 386bsd. Can you please e-mail mer post here about a solution????
- I can now see that it maybe a bios setting. I have tried to install
- linux also with the same problems. Here is what I have:
-
- Hot307 80386 33/40
- AMI Bios/ OPTI chipset
- Total of now 6 Megs of memory
- 104 Meg harddrive (rll'ed)
- 68 Megs for 386bsd
- 5 Meg boot partition
- 30 Meg extended dos partition
- Generic WD Harddrive/Floppy controller
- Trident SVGA card (1 meg)
- Microsoft mouse
- Proaudio spectrum card
-
-
-
- Now the problem I am having is when I type install it seems to work okay
- until it gets to the high level formating of 386bsd storage. The system
- hangs and I must use the reset button to restart. Could this be a problem
- with newfs and chipset settings? I have taken all cards out except the svga
- card and floppy/harddrive controller and still no dice. Could it be a stray
- interrupt problem with the floppy drive? I noticed when I tried to install
- linux, it said there was a stray interrupt. Could it be that? Please help!
- I have in the past week picked up the WD bootable fix from berekely and
- the dist.fs for no ehternet controller but it still won't continue from
- that sticking point.
