Did you go into the 486's BIOS setup and disable *shadowing*, etc.
Some BIOS *features* were created specifically for DOS and can wreck
havoc on *real* operating systems. Is you 486SX an Intel part or AMD,
or somebody else??
Sometimes, manufacturer's use the term compatible rather loosely...
I'm running -stable (2.2.8) on an AMD 486DX-66. I started with 2.1.5R,
then installed 2.2.7R, and cvsupped -stable right thru 2.2.8R.
But then, I have an FPU ;o)

Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes.
