I've put some patched boot floppies up on agate in
~ftp/pub/386BSD/386bsd-0.1/unofficial/newbootables.cgd
they should fix the problem that some people have been having,
where they can install fine, but then when they try to reboot,
the system seems to have lost their disklabel...
also the fixit.fs image contains a list of files which are on
the floppy, which is useful, if you want to use my really-evil-and-slimy
install method that i posted a few days ago...
the readme is included below...

>>> BEGIN README <<<
these are new bootable floppy images, which should fix one or two
problems booting 0.1...
specifically, they fix the problem where you can install onto the hard
drive, but then it appears to lose its disklabel when you reboot off
of it...
the changes that made these disks will be in the first official patch,
due out RSN...
CKSUMS are the checksums for the *.fs files, generated by "cksum"...
enjoy, and, as always, i disclaim any responsibility for any damages
you might cause yourself by using these thangs...
