HELP!! Keywords: extract,install,novice Message-ID: <Oct.28.23.27.00.1992.19587@ocean.rutgers.edu> Date: 29 Oct 92 04:27:00 GMT Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 35 This is my first attempt at installing 386bsd-0.1, so I'm having problems *AND* posting to the news group (whatta novice). I've got an (old) AT&T 6386, maybe 20 MHz, a 135 M HD (type ??), 8 Megs of RAM, and a standard vanilla VGA. The dist.fs floppy works, and I can actually get the Tiny 386BSD installed on the hard disk. I copied over the bin01 files via floppy, and fired up 'extract bin01' It goes on for a bit, and then I get the message: NMI port 61 70, port 70 ff Bus error - core dumped Memory fault - core dumped and then back to the prompt. It looks like it got to about the /usr directory before bombing (comparing with filesystem on agate.berkeley.edu). I tried extract bin01 again, which then informed me that two files were corrupt. I tried to remove them to recopy, and then panic, and reboot, after which I was left high and dry. I reinstalled Tiny 386BSD, but thought I'd ask before attempting again. Any help greatly appreciated. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Jim Gasprich e-mail: jimg@ocean.rutgers.edu Research & Support Slave tel: (908) 932-9631 Cook College Remote Sensing Center fax: (908) 932-8644 Rutgers University PO Box 231 New Brunswick, NJ, O8903 "Du bist mein Gweckman" - Anonymous Fascist +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
