Hello all,

I had 386bsd 0.1 working on my AHA1542B using the SCSI bootblocks by Julian
Elischer [from good ole ref.tfs.com :-)].  Now that I have switched to an
AHA1542C the boot blocks just freeze the machine.  A recent kernel [compiled
for me by a friend (Thanks, Henry!)] works fine when booted from floppy.

Could someone please send me binary copies of boot blocks that work with the
AHA1542C, i.e. the files /usr/mdec/sdboot and /usr/mdec/bootsd?  Uuencoded
will be fine.  Alternatively, where could I ftp source and/or binaries for
the newest boot blocks by Julian?  Both the `original' and the SCSI boot blocks
in patchkit 0.2 [?] didn't work.

It is depressing to have those 750 MB of goodies sitting on my disk without
being able to boot the system properly [single user with root on floppy isn't
fun, believe me] ...

Thanks a lot for any and all help!
