I downloaded the dist.fs and used rawrite to floppy.  When I boot from
the floppy it reads from the floppy for a few seconds and then 
reboots the system.  No messages... No banner...  The system is a 
TI4000 laptop with 4meg ram and a 60 meg partition with 486sx.  I believe
the disk type is ide, but have not been able to find anything that 
says one way or another.   
 
I was able to install LINUX and it uses /dev/hdax for the driver.  I
would like to try BSD instead though.
  
Any ideas???????
