I have just recently acquired i386bsd 0.1 from gatekeeper
and cannot get it to boot on a machine with its hard
drive on an Adaptec 1542C controller.

The machine boots from the floppy alright and installs to
the hard drive, but hangs on hard boot.

Also I have a Compaq 386/20e, with ESDI 300Mbyte disc, on
which the i386bsd kernel refuses to boot from floppy.
Any ideas.

Howard.
