I would like to set up a unix OS on this old laptop that is a mitac 486 =
SX with a 25 mhz intel pentium processor with 4 mb of ram, so I can =
install apache, perl and a browser and develop CGI programs away from my =
desk. When the mfsroot disk goes to boot I see it try to run boot/loader =
and then it states "No boot/loader". The disk starts up properly on my =
desktop pc so im sure its the laptop. What I'm wondering is should I =
give up on the laptop? Your input is very much appreciated.
Thank You,
Todd Wade
