Anyone out there who has had luck booting 386bsd onto a Compaq
notebook (or desktop even), please lend me a hand.  I have read
previous posts, and located one (forget the poster) where a man
had created a fixit disk.  I retrieved that disk, rawrote it, and
it boots.  I guess I need to know if I can go forth with a bindist
installation from the fixit disk?!  *ANY* input is welcomed.
Thanks much.
