Summary: 386BSD 0.0 doesn't boot for me. Requesting assistance Keywords: Keyboard, 386BSD, help, problem, boot Message-ID: <1992Jun23.171404.6463@lut.fi> Date: 23 Jun 92 17:14:04 GMT Sender: news@lut.fi (Usenet News) Organization: Lappeenranta University of Technology, Finland Lines: 26 Hi everybody! I'm trying to get 386BSD work on my computer, but I can't get past the boot stage. Problem: the system apparently reads my keyboard wrong and decides that I want to do an 'Operator abort -- booting 386bsd.alt' and because none of the other files are found, it goes aroung in circles for a while and then dies. My system is a 33-MHz 486DX with 4MB of RAM and 129MB of ATID hard disk. I have a standard keyboard (at least I thought so) and the controller is fairly standard -- it has not given any trouble in the DOS world. I'm booting from a 1.44Mb diskette with 386BSD v0.0, not patched in any way (I think). The disk starts booting with just about any other 386-machine, but since we have none here with an MPU, they don't get very far either, but they DO get past that problem with the keyboard. So, please help me if you can. Since I do not very frequently read this newsgroup, then please email to tuomas@mylly.ccctalo.carel.fi Tuomas Lukka (DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE, SINCE THIS WAS FORWARDED BECAUSE TUOMAS DOES NOT HAVE NETWORK RIGHTS!!!)
