I've now finally managed to get host of some terminators for my SCSI drive
and have found a problem with booting....

I've got an IDE drive (with 386BSD installed on it, active - working fine!)

I've now installed an ST02 SCSI card. Everything still fine!

As soon as I plug in the SCSI drive (which the ST02 finds ok) there are
problems. I'm using Julians 'new' boot blocks, the prompt comes up asking
which device to boot (from the IDE drive!), but when I press RETURN, as I
normally would, it just hangs.

I realise that my kernel doesn't yet have ST02 support but I didn't expect
it to stop it booting.

(Also, does anyone have a ST02 driver which support Julians SCSI drivers?)

Any ideas?

Lee.
