I've been trying to install 386bsd on a partition on a 386 machine.
After installing successfully, when I do a warm reboot, it looks for
a floppy in the a drive and just keeps spinning. It just doesn't boot
off the hard disk.
If anybody knows what the problem is , please let me know as soon as possible.
