Hi:

I am trying to install 386BSD Unix on my 486 pc with 200MB disk space. I have
managed to create a partition for DOS/WIndows etc. (about 80 MB) using the fdisk
program.  However, I am unable to set second partition as active so that I can load
UNIX.  I am not sure that I am doing the right steps in installing 386BSD 
(IMO, the installation notes are rather cryptic for me to understand)

I would very much appreciate any help from people who have successfully managed
to install 386BSD on their PCs.
