Hmm... so the solution is to upgrade the controller?? Strange... I too 
have a Gateway system (80386sx, American Megatrend BIOS), but I am able to 
boot NetBSD off a 420Mb Western Digital hard drive. However, I am unable 
to boot off a floppy. Each time I try that the computer reboots about 20 
seconds after NetBSD starts up. This happens with both 1.2 and 1.2.1. And 
on my Dell Pentium system, this problem does not exist.

Anyone else seen this problem on the floppy drive??
