It boots as far as the copyright message then zip. I have tried the original 386bsd-0.1 dist.fs as well as dist.fs.pk-0.2 It _sometimes_ reports that the keyboard is disconnected (it isn't). Has any progress been made on this problem? [no, unplugging/replugging the keyboard did not help] Interestingly the system does boot bsdi's bsd/386 (a friend with the same hardware is running that). Any assistance appreciated. -- Simon J. Gerraty <sjg@zen.void.oz.au> (home) #include <disclaimer> /* imagine something *very* witty here */
