I'm trying to install 386bsd on a NICE 486/50 16MB eisa w/ a 1742A controller
and a scsi disk at address 0 or 1.  The stock disk.fs is hopeless as it gets 
scsi sense errors.  The fixit.1742 boots and recognizes the disk as sd0 but an
attempt to disklabel the drive results in a "drive not configured" error.
I wrote a quick and dirty disktab for the disk but it didn't help.

I've made the required device files /dev/[r]sd0[abcd] at the major/minor
numbers indicated in the MAKEDEV included with julian's driver.  Major 4 and
13.  Minor 0-7.

I've also mounted the dist.fs on the second floppy drive and attempted to
use the install program on that disk.  Still no luck.  I also get the error
"drive not configured".

I was able to use (format and partition) the drive under dos as drive C/D
depending on the disk scsi address.  The supplied device drivers for dos
work fine.

This is the only hard disk/scsi device (other than the 1742A) currently in
the system.  The controller is configured in standard mode.  Yes I went
through the eisa configuration utilities.


Any ideas/help would be appreciated.



tnx
