Hello *,

I am trying to set up a 386 box being my leased line gateway, as
well as FAX and printer server.

The configuration is: 
- a 386 board with AMI Bios MK-III
- an IDE/floppy controller
- an ET4000 graphic adapter (TSENG LABS VGA BIOS MODEL: 8925 06/13/90)

The POST memory test shows: 7808 KB,  64 KB Cache

The BIOS reports after POST:

Processor:		80386
Numeric coprocessor:	present
Floppy A:		3 1/2"
Display:		EGA or VGA
Rom Bios Date:		10/15/90
Base Memory:		640 KB
Ext. Memory:		7168 KB

Booting the boot.flp shows:

Boot: kernel @ 0x27d000
[...]

In the visual kernel configuration , I disable everything but:
Storage: fdc0, wdc0
Input: sc0

avail memory = 5001216 (4884K Bytes)	   <- XXX looks strange to me
Probing..
sc0 at 0x60
sc0: VGA color
fdc0: NEC 765
fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in
wdc0 at 0x1f0
wcd0: unit 0 (wd0): <Quantum P80A 980-80-94xx>
wd0: 80 MB (164050 sectors), 965 cyls, 10 heads, 17 s/t, 516 b/s
npx0 at 0xf0

Then the boot sequence hangs forever.

Any ideas, anybody? :))

TIA
	Armin
