I have been trying to install 386BSD on a 486-50Mhz ISA PC, but every time
I boot the tiny-floopy, the hard disk can't be recognized. When I run
the INSTALL program, it asks if I want to install to the TV.
The hard drive uses IDE card. The company who sold the PC told me they use
210MB Conner hard drive. However, the AMI BIOS program indicates the drive
as Type 47, 527 cyln., 16 head, 49 sect., and 202 MB.
I am able to install SCO UNIX on it. When I boot up SCO UNIX, it gives
following information:
disk 0x01f0-0x01f7 14 type=w0, unit=0, cyls=527, heads=16, sect=49
14 is IRQ number.
Any help is appreciated.
