I failed to install 386BSD in my 486sx33. Sometimes it hangs after the first
message, sometimes before the message. Anybody has any idea about what might 
be the problem. Here is the specification of my system?

cpu: 486sx33. 4MB RAM
motherboard: vtech.
HD: seagate IDE 210 MB.
video card: Boca svgax 1mb with Cirus Logic chipset.
AMI bios.

I also tried to install LINUX and failed too no matter which package I choose.
I am wondering if the video card caused the problem.
