Subject: INSTALL PROBLEM -- IDE Drive Unfound

After redownloading the Tiny386 boot floppy (must have gotten a bad one
the first time) I was able to boot the system. But I encountered another
problem, 386bsd cannot find either of my hard drives, so I cannot
procede to install the system.
They are IDE drives (80meg and 205meg) and I have installed DOS 5 and OS/2
2/0 on this system. I immagine the problem is the ADP 60/70 controller
that I use, it allows the drives to be used even though there is no
user definable setting in my BIOS for the larger drives.
Does anyone have any ideas on this? Anything i might try to get the
system to recognize the drives? Now that I can boot 386BSD, I am
very eager to get it up and running on my system.
Please email responses (buehler@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu)
Thanks,
