>Environment:
System: 386SX, 4MB RAM, 210MB HD, AmiBIOS
>Description:
Installation hangs after kernel messages. If boot-small is used, hangs
after stty output.
Console echos still work, but machine responds no further. ^C, ^Z and
^D do nothing.
Also, boot messages indicate that the kernel things the CPU is a 386DX,
when it is an AMD 386SX. Installing a 387 copro makes no difference.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot from installation floppy on this machine.
>Fix:
No known fix.
