I have just purchased and installed the Adaptec 1542C SCSI contoller.
( port 0x330 irq 11 dma 5 )
I currently have a 486 with the following (pertinent) HW:
- 486/33 w/20M RAM ISA bus
- Adaptec 1542C SCSI Host Adapter
- Brand BT9000S 210M internal SCSI drive at SCSI ID #0
- Fujitsu M2623F 425M external SCSI drive at SCSI ID #2
- Toshiba XM3301B CD-ROM at SCSI ID #1
I have DOS/Windows on the internal SCSI ID#0...
I have NetBSD 0.8 on the external SCSI ID#2... I need to find a
kernal that will complete the boot with a SCSI drive on something
*other* than ID#0. When I enable: Dynamic Scan and BIOS for > 2 drives;
I can toggle back-n-forth between boot drives with the 'Ignore in BIOS
Scan' feature of the configuration software. (Isn't the 1542C *GREAT*!!)
Can anyone please help?
Thanx,
Doug
