I am attempting to install 386bsd onto my system with the standard
distribution disks.  Once the disk is finished installing onto my hard
disk I let it reset the system.  The problem is that the computer hangs up
like the hard disk isnt bootable.

My system configuration is:
486DX/33
8M RAM
Adaptec 1542C SCSI controller
Maxtor XT-4380S SCSI drive  (320 meg)

I installed 386bsd over the entire disk, the drive is the only SCSI device
and is terminated properly.  Parity and other settings are also correct.

If anyone has any suggestions about how to fix this problem, please email
me.

thanks in advance
