Booting off the the Tiny 386BSD floppy, all my peripherals and cards are recognized with no problem, and install seems to work fine. All devices recognized match the settings (IRQs, etc.) displayed. After the install program finishes installing to my hard drive, I eject the Tiny 386BSD disk and reboot the machine by pressing <RETURN> (per instructions). After the controller finds the drive, the hard drive attempts to boot. Some of banner message appears (just as with the floppy), but the drive reboots. This rebooting continues infinitely. I have a AT&T 6386/33E WGS Model S system, with an Adaptec 1542B controller and HP 300MB SCSI hard drive. Because of the AT&T CMOS problem, I am using Terry Lambert's dist.fs patch (dist.starlan.cmos.fs). If I use the 0.2 patch kit dist.fs, instead of rebooting, I get a kernel panic and trap error. I have tried removing boards and reinstalling, but the same behavior persists. Does ANYONE have a clue as to why this might be happening? Anand Kuratti kuratti@ece.arizona.edu
