Hi,

I have ftp'ed the 386bsd dist.fs floppy and it boots fine on my '486.
All the devices are seen by bsd, and then install program runs fine.
When i take the floppy out of the floppy drive to boot off the HD,
it comes up with a mess about 'Operating system ....' (it happens too
fast to actually read it), and the m/c reboots.  It keeps on in this
cycle forever.

Does anyone have any hints please.

tnx in advance..
cul 73's de wayne
