   I am having problems installing 386BSD on my Compaq 486/33M.  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.

Yeah, cute joke. I'm having the same problem on my HINT eisa/vlb
motherboard with an adaptec 1742a controller, which is supported, so I
guess it must be a motherboard-type problem. Linux installs fine
though.
