Hi,

I'm trying to install NetBSD(1.4.1) on my old 386DX40/8Meg Ram/200MB hd ,
because I want to use it as router/firewall to the internet.
Installation works well,but rebooting after that fails.
I got a message like:

"Scanning ide busses .  .  . "

And that's all - the host doesn't come up.I have tried several ISA-Controller
Boards-no success,always the same message.
Maybe netbsd's bootloaderworks not with my Controller-boards.
Can grub solve this problem ?
Has anyone expierience with grub ?

Thanks

Frank
