Lines: 17 Distribution: world Message-ID: <1pc531$7qf@daffy.ldp.com> Reply-To: rolfe@ldp.com NNTP-Posting-Host: rosebud.ldp.com A few days ago, I posted a question here relating to the problems I was having bootstrapping 386BSD with an EISA box and Adaptec 1742A combination. I received email to the effect that the current distribution floppies do not support the 1742A, despite indications to the contrary in the INSTALL.NOTES. Yet, in reading the comp.os.386bsd.* groups over the past few days, it is obvious that there are people running on EISA machines. So, the obvious question is: how did they bootstrap the system if the distribution floppies don't work?
