Lines: 28 I'd like to try 386BSD on my 486 machine. What I got is a single floppy which is labeled BSD386, V0.1 tiny root and a QIC tape. Fine.. When the floppy is booted, it does not recognize the diskcontroller (I have a Adaptec 1542A in my machine) or the QIC02 controller (I have an Archive SC499R with 5945 drive). Question 1: is the above hardware supported? I know a 1542A is old, so..? The INSTALL.NOTES file just uses 'Adaptec 1542'. Same question for the tape. Question 2: is the software I have a bit current (just a bit..)? What Is the current version if mine isn't? Question 3: which archive site(s) have the current 386BSD stuff? Question 4: last but not least: Is there a FAQ around somewhere? Any help is mucho appreciated.
