Since I was having no luck with the 386BSD boot, I decided to switch
over and try the Linux boot for kicks.  It worked right off.

Can anyone tell me why the Linux system will boot on my hardware, 
but the BSD won't?  Does anyone think there is any value to be 
gained by porting the BSD to a Tandon? (Other than my own educational
value.)  If so, please let me know, else I may switch over to the Linux
project.  :-|  Thanks in advance.
