Machine Specs: Processor: 486DX/33Mhz RAM: 8MB Cache: 128K Disk: 100MB Kalok KL3100 Chip Set: UMC (UM82C480) VGA Card: Cardinal VGA 16bit, 1MB Success: I've had success getting 386bsd running using the Kalok drive if I use the entire volume for BSD but I have to keep a msdoG partition around. I've had success running 386bsd using a Rodime RO3259AP 200MB disk with DOS and BSD partitions (I borrowed it from another machine to see if it might be the controller). If anybody else has had the same problem and has found a solution PLEASE email me with the solution. I have read the bug report and the bug is #1 on the list and the comment with the report is that there is/was a lot of discussion on ways around the problem. Is this bug fixed with some patch, if so which one. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, paul8@cs.mun.ca
