Hi netters,

This is a very quick post, since I have to go out and drink alot (it my
birthday - send presents please :-).

0.1 boots fine on a 486/25 - excellent package it is too, but trying it
on a real bare 386/33 with aha1542, vga and serial board gives an attempted
core dump and floating exception when running install. I thought the 0.1
version did emulation.

BTW - I guess that npx0 is the floating point chip ??? I get that in the
486 startup, but not the 386.

Thanks all, must go now,
