Hi,
	I have been unsuccessfully trying to install 386bsd on my PC.  I have
a Seagate 124M Hard drive.  I have partitioned 64M to MSDOS and 60M to bsd.
I have suucessfully been able to boot off of the floppy drive.  After running
the install program, the program reboots then it crashes as it continues to try
the floppy drive.  I then was going to try to partition it using the disklabel
program off of fixit.  Since I am not too sure of the parameters to use, and I
don't want to kill the MSDOS partition, I decided to wait until I could get 
some help.   If anyone could be of assistance, I would appreciated it greatly.

Thanks for the help.


Sincerely,


Pramod John
