which hard disc have you got on your 386/486 machine?
(ie, make, size, type)
you can try ftp'ing b.com from /pub/plan9/b.com on ftp.cs.york.ac.uk
to see if that is better (or worse!). there was a problem with the handling
of certain older drives, but i can't remember whether i fixed it in b.com
or devhard.c in the pc kernel.

Hello again...
It seems the updates to b.com have caused some problems. A floppy
created with disk/format with the new b.com boots, reads in b.com,
then says: Not a bootable disk or disk error Press almost any key...
Booted from DOS, b.com works. Using the old b.com with disk/format,
works. It seems to be a problem between bb and the new b.com.
Any ideas?

I'm using a 40 meg seagate drive, it's not terribly old, though (perhaps 3
years).
I tried the b.com you suggested and it still failed, but with a different
error. The hardwait and hardintr messages were the same but the panic
was "panic: hardintr 2".
Any suggestions on this or should I give up and buy an AT&T machine? :)
