I have seen oblique references to a problem with AMI BIOS in other
messages. I recently upgraded my BIOS from 030389 to 050591. 386BSD
still won't boot. The drive light comes on and stays on. Ctrl-Alt-Del
won't regain control -- time for the red button.

If anyone has suggestions, workarounds or pointers to explanatory
materials, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.
