Lines: 42 Distribution: world Message-ID: <1p5bgd$3kb@daffy.ldp.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: rosebud.ldp.com I thought I'd bring up a new machine this weekend with 386bsd, but no joy. I tried both the dist.fs in /bootable and the one that contain the new patches with the same result. Machine is a 486/33 AMI motherboard with OPTI chipset, 16 meg, and Fujitsu 520 meg SCSI drive. The symptoms: After correctly probing the display, serial ports, and WD ethernet card, the display proceeds as follows... as0 at 0x330 irq 11 drq5 on isa changing root device to fd0a as0b: controller error 0x12 reading fsbn 0 scsi sense: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...and these two lines are repeated again. Clearly, it's not seeing the drive, but I believe it to be correctly configured from a hardware standpoint since MS-DOS and OS/2 both see it fine. The 1742 is operating in standard mode, of course. Any helpful hints gratfully accepted; I understand that there are SCSI drivers on agate.berkeley.edu, but if I understand the INSTALL.NOTES correctly, the tinybsd floppy should bootstrap to a SCSI system as long as it uses an Adaptec interface.
