Keywords: unix setup bios hard-disk Message-ID: <3400@cbnewsl.ATT.COM> Date: 21 Dec 89 20:13:43 GMT Distribution: na Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories Lines: 15 Hello, I am attempting to run Unix (interactive/386) on a precision motherboard with 4MB ram. I can not boot Unix off the hard drive after running the built-in setup utility in rom, but must instead run a standard AT setup disk (which tells me system options NOT set when I boot it!!!). Is there something I am doing wrong? Can I patch the CMOS somehow? I don't mind having to run a separate disk, except that the setup program I have clears the "custom" hard drive setup (type 47). The onboard setup works fine with DOS, however. thanx in advance, __ Robert Diamond (201) 576-2357 /\ AT&T Lincroft 1A-205 /RO\ ...!att!lzatt!rmd \BD/ \/
