Hi;

I've got this ambra 486sx with no 487.  It's an ISA bus machine and has 4 
megs of ram.  I've installed 2.1.0-951026-SNAP on it (i actually 
took the drive out and installed it on another machine).  

Now the problems I am having are with the video.  I have tried scons, and 
pcvt console and both still do the same thing.  They loose information.  
Strangly BSDi did the same thing on this machine.  Does anyone know about 
these strange beasts?  Does anyone know about the 10 dip switches on the 
mother board?  does anyone know how to get in to configure the bios?  Ie. 
I know nothing about this thing.....

Andrew

Oh well.... at least it boots.....
