==============================================================================
I'm trying to install tiny386bsd onto my pc which is an IBM PS/2 Model 70. I ha
ve ftp'd dist.fs and rawrited it onto a 3.5 floppy, but when i try booting it u
p it just beeps then sits there with it's floppy drive light on and does nothin
g (even after 5 minutes have gone by). My hard disk has been partioned so it ha
s an 18Mb MSDOS partition and the rest is unformatted. What could be going wron
g and how do i fix it?
Thanks in advance
