It has a ~300Mb IDE hard drive, which the TinyBSD floppy doesn't see. When I type 'install', it gives the joke about installing on a TV. I have been following this newsgroup on and off and think it is either an IDE translation problem or a Compaq specific problem. Please e-mail me if you know what I can do to try and fix this. Also, I'd love to see someone work on the FAQ. I am sure many of the questions in this group could be answered via the FAQ. I'd be happy to collect information for an FAQ, but don't have the time or resources to fully explore 386BSD myself.
