 I've tried to boot a P1 using a CD made from the boot-com.iso file

 NetBSD/i386 are supposed to run on machines of this vintage?


Yes, of course. The fpa driver, however, seems to be pretty broken. If
you drop to the boot prompt, then boot -c and remove fpa* you might get
further.

Thanks Martin, running 'boot -c' and then 'disable fpa' did allow itto boot and run sysinst. (I didn't go as far as installing NetBSDthough.)

Please file a PR!


I have.
