My copy of Tiny 386BSD seems to boot up all the way to the "#" prompt
and then freeze. Ctrl-Alt-Del does not reset it. Anyone have any ideas?
I am using a Micronics 486-66 mother board with 12 MB of RAM, a Diamond 
Viper VGA card. I thought that I might try pulling out all unnecessary
boards and trying it, but that will have to wait until this weekend. By
the way, I am using an Adaptec 1542 SCSI controller which it seems to
recognize.

The floppy seems to work just fine on one of my computers at work, however.
In fact, I got the entire 386BSD system installed successfuly there.
