I have an older 25MH 486 Gateway 2000. Micronic MB/Pheonix BIOS. This
system ran 386BSD for about a year with no problems. NetBSD is beginning
to look like an impossibility. The system reads the boot disk ok, askes
for the file system disk, seems to get most of the way through it, displays
all the system devices etc. Shortly after annoucing NOW SWAP SPACE I get a
message that the system is dumping (to quick for my slow eyes to read the
who thing) and the system reboots.
With 386BSD I was using a ESDI (UltraStor 12f) and SCSI (1542c), I have
tried both in combination and individually, with the same result - dump.
Any help resuolving this would be appreciated.
If there is no way to get this to work, it FreeBSD a possibility?
If so where does one get it?
