I have a hacked-together clone, 386sx, AHA1542B, 200M SCSI drive.
I initially set up a 50M DOS partition, then had 386bsd install itself on a
100M partition. ``shutdown -todos'' whined that it couldn't make the DOS
partition bootable. On reconsidering, I blew away the drive and started
over, this time with a 20M DOS partition. Now ``shutdown -todos'' works
fine. Maybe it doesn't understand 16-bit FATs?
