Hi,

does somebody know if LINUX runs on a no name PC (80486)
with a BIOS that has the full name

MR BIOS Microid Research Ver V1.0C Port ETEQ401

Other OS like OS/2 or DOS do run. Any hints welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, my 386 machine has a Mr. BIOS ship set and it runs Linux fine.

Regards,

Well, my 486 has Mr. BIOS V1.0 and it *won't* run Linux. (To be
fair, it *might* be a flakey memory problem - though it does run
ESIX Sys5r3, NetBSD, and FreeBSD just fine - go figure.)
