This sounds familiar. After trying (and failing) to boot a recent NetBSD
kernel (I can't properly describe what's happening yet; further bulletins
as events warrant), either of two bad things happen to my PC when I next
try to boot BSDI's BSD/386 without a hard reset:
-1- The RTC clock gets set to 1 January 1970 (that's the Unix zero time, not   
        DOS's :-)
-2- The WD8013EBT probes all right, but doesn't transmit or receive any data.

Oh well, I couldn't be bothered by either of these problems, but I'd just
thought I'd pass the info around... I tried both the netbsd-aha kernel,
dated 16 april 1994 from iastate, and a kernel built myself from sources
supped 11 april from wipux2.

                              can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
