I went ahead and used the kcadp floppy to boot and setup the disk, then
copied the other kernel to a floppy from a working system. I'd be glad to
pass along a kernel that the ATAPI patch guy (sorry, can't remember your
name) was nice enough to build for me with a 586, ps2 mouse, and atapi
patch. (dunno that pcmcia was in there tho) Anyone know about support for
PCMCIA 3COM 589b? I'd be glad to hack and slash on it if I can ever get BSD
installed on this. :)
