I am installing 386BSD on my 486/33, and I have a problem with the hard disks.
- First, when booting with diskette, it doesn't detect the second hard disk.
It says, something like this:
wd0 CONNER 3204/F (200M) 0x1F irq14 on ISA
but nothing about the Maxtor disk, I supposse wd1.
- Second, after making the Unix partition with fdisk, type 165, on Conner
disk, and running the 'install' program of boot diskette; it doesn't
boot the hard disk when the active partition is the Unix one, however,
it's possible to boot with the diskette and mount the hard disk.
My configuration is:
- 486/33
- 8 Mb RAM
- 2 hard disk:
master: Conner 3204/F 200M ( 195 M Unix and 5M DOS )
slave: Maxtor 240M ( whole disk for DOS )
- 3 1/2 and 5 1/4 diskettes
- 2 serial ports
- 1 printer port
- Soundblaster 2.0
I am new in 386BSD, so sorry if this question is a FAQ one,
Thanks in advance
Antonio Ruiz
