Has anyone gotten 386bsd to run on a 386sx /25Mz 
I got the bootable off berkeley and did a rawrite to disk
When I tried to boot,  the computer just hung
Configuration in bios is:
4 meg ram
divided as 96k shadow ram, 640k base ram, and the rest EMS memory
1 meg svga
a: 5 1/4  (bootable)
b: 3 1/2 (non-bootable)
c: hard drive
It is a Gateway computer
the disk works fine on all my friends computers, but anyone know why it hates 
mine?
