I've been unable to install 386BSD 0.1 on my system.  I have an IDE drive
(primary), a SCSI drive (secondary) on an Adaptec 1540B, and a CD-ROM drive
(also on the Adaptec).

I'm trying to install 386BSD on the IDE drive.  The boot floppy boots fine
until it gets to "as0" (which I assume stands for Adaptec SCSI), at which
point it hangs.

Do I need a different boot floppy?  If so, where can I get it?  I looked for
a FAQ, but the only thing I could find was one on supported tape drives.
