I'm going to install 386 bsd on my home machine in the next
weeks.
My hardware:
clone 486DX 33Mhz AMI Bios, 256Kb cache,
16Mb RAM, OPTI chipset (I believe)
LongShine LCS-6631(F) SCSI controller emulating
a WD 1003/1006
Fujitsu M26225-512 320Mb SCSI disk ID=7
IBM 00663L12 1Gb SCSI disk ID=1
(both disk are attached to the LongShine controller,
that handle both HD and FD as it was a WD controller)
Adaptec 1542B (with standard setup) with no SCSI
devices attached for now (I plan to attach to it
a TANDBERG TDC 3660 150Mb/250Mb tape next week on
SCSI ID 2)
Trident 2.1 SuperVGA passthru attached to an
ATI 8514 Ultra graphics card (both with 1Mb of
display memory)
NEC 4FG Display
Logitech Mouseman 3 buttons serial attached mouse
(emulating a Microsoft).
I have some questions:
1) It is the current release of 386bsd going
to work on my hardware?
2) Does exist an X server working at 1024x768x256colors
available for one of my cards? (8514 in particular)
3) The second of my disk has 1944 tracks. DOS is obviously
able to see only the first 1024 tracks (504Mb) of
my disk. It is 386bsd able to see tracks greates than 1024?
My idea is to install 386bsd on the first disk and mount
500Mb from the second. Any hint about a better partition
scheme? My controller may remap part of the second disk
on the first, but I'll loose perfomance I believe.
Please e-mail any answer to me, as I'm not (for now) a regular
follower of the group.
Regards, Peppe
