I'm having trouble booting your BSD 2.0 software (SNAP version too) I have no trouble installing and mounting the systems. After the install is done it tells me to remove the floppy and hit return to reboot from hard drive. It reboots & comes up with the BSD boot screen along with the "Boot:" prompt. If I hit return, type '?', type '/kernal-c' or anything it locks up. Normally there is a little twirling "|" symbol but it just prints "|" and locks solid. My bios geometry matches BSD, I did write the boot code. I read the troubleshooting, readme's and other FAQS but nothing helps. I have it on a drive by itself (no MSDOS) and I did not select 'use all drive', I used edit slice. I have a 80486DX66 system with UMC chipset. 8MB RAM, a Promise EIDE2300+ controller (I used the regular isa ide controller side of it.) and a Maxtor 212mb 7213A drive. My system is a 3 slot VLB board. I have no trouble running MSDOS or OS/2 2.1 & WARP on it. It also has a Proaudio 16 sound card with a Toshiba XM-3401 CD-ROM.
