Hi:
	One question:

	I got 386BSD-0.1 (bindist, dist.fs, fixit.fs and rawrite.exe ...)
	from agate.berkeley.edu. Accroding to the "Booting Up Tiny 386BSD"
	section in the Installation Notes, I copied the file dist.fs 
	onto a floppy and inserted it into my floppy drive, but it did
	not boot up as described in the installtion notes, (it is pretty
	obvious that the error message is "Non-system disk").

	I think I am missing something here, how can I boot Tiny 386BSD up,
	do I have to use rawrite.exe to ...

	Any comment will be great appreciated.
