Hi,

At present I have a Hard disk with FreeBSD on a 486/DX266. I want to
configure it in a machine 386/33, but when I reboot the system report me
incompatibility (and show me some option but never can use those)and reboot
each 10 seconds. 

Can I use the disk on the 386/33 machine?

Rgds,

Mauricio Calderon
