Subject: INSTALL PROBLEM -- IDE Drive Unfound

After redownloading the Tiny386 boot floppy (must have gotten a bad one
the first time) I was able to boot the system.  But I encountered another
problem, 386bsd cannot find either of my hard drives, so I cannot 
procede to install the system. 

They are IDE drives (80meg and 205meg) and I have installed DOS 5 and OS/2
2/0 on this system.  I immagine the problem is the ADP 60/70 controller
that I use, it allows the drives to be used even though there is no
user definable setting in my BIOS for the larger drives.

Does anyone have any ideas on this?  Anything i might try to get the
system to recognize the drives?  Now that I can boot 386BSD, I am
very eager to get it up and running on my system.

Please email responses (buehler@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu)

Thanks,
