I'm not even going to try helping you with the specifics when you provide blatant misinformation like that.

Download 4.5 and enjoy. IF that doesn't work for you, use a serial console to capture what you REALLY have and what is really happening, and let us see that. Until you know the machine and what you are doing with it, I'd suggest sticking to booting off wd0a, rather than trying to boot off a second disk. Also...32M would be about the minimum amount of RAM you would want to install on at the moment. If you don't have much of a scrap pile, you may have difficulty expanding old machines to the useful minimum. Nick.
