I am having problems installing tinybsd. I did the following:

(1) I ftp'd dist.fs and rawrite.exe from tamu.edu to my sun
(2) I mcopy'd both files to a 3.5" diskette on the sun
(3) I formatted a 5.25" diskette on my PC
(4) I put the 5.25" disk in drive A and 3.5" disk in drive B and ran rawrite
(5) hit control-alt-del

  After this I got the 386bsd copyright message and then:

  KEYBOARD disconnected: RECONNECT
  and then it just sat there doing nothing.

  The keyboard, I can assure you, is connected and is fully functional.

  Can anyone tell me what is going on?

  Thanks.

Shirish.
