I have successfully installed 386BSD on my system. Thanks to all
those involved in bringing 386BSD to the world. 

Unfortunately I'm having a problem when I try to build a new kernel. I can
do a "make depend" ok. Everything completes as exptected. When I try to do
a "make" the system hangs while compiling kern_clock.c.  I have also seen the 
problem intermittently when I do a "df." I estimate about 20% of the time 
with "df" the  system will hang.  I have a 20Mhz System with 10 megs of Memory,
a Micropolis 1355 ESDI Disk and a Western Digital controller. Does anyone
out there know of a fix for this? Has anyone else seen this problem?
