Speaking of 1.5.1..... is there any chance someone could roll a set of
boot floppies for a twscons or normal console monitor boot/install?
I tried updating, but things got out of whack and I had to reinstall
1.5, rebuild twscons, etc, which is where the machines now sit.
Ideally, it would be nice if a 3000/300 class machine could come up
running on the monitor rather than being forced into a serial terminal.
That would seem to require a second set of boot floppies and a kern.tgz
with both kernels available, and some way to force either at the tail
end of the install.
Is anything like that in the works?
When will 1.5.1 be out?
Thanks
Bob
