Hi guys!

I've finally decided to replace my outdated SCO box with NetBSD.
However, the 1990 state-of-the-art HW stands on my way. First is the
BIOS, following the RAM, and finally the EISA.

I wish I could just replace the motherboard to something contemporary
but this is not an option! I gotta find the cheapest way out. At the top
of the 2do list are the following two items:

   1.  How, or even can I replace / upgrade my BIOS without changing
motherboard ?

   2.  I am willing to use just 1GB of my 2GB disk, providing I could
get the geometry right.

I have tried many things with "PFDISK" but nothing really worked, except
that I eliminated the
initial {{ sd0(ahb 0:0:0): timed out }}, only to get to it again much
farther down during installation.

Am I fighting a lost battle here, or is there some hope I can reuse my
old box?

Regards, Igor
