Hi,
I tried to boot the tiny boot diskette on a HP Vectra 386/25 with 170 MB disk
space. But the PC always reboots a few seconds after displaying the rom bios
copyright. I've read bsd.faq very carefully and read nearly everything related
in this newsgroup -- nothing seems to help me. I think it a problem of the 4
extra k that this machine  uses for the rom bios. I tried the instructions
recommended in bsd.faq but they are for an american setup program - I have
a german one.

Has anyone an idea to get rid of these 4 k ?
