Lines: 26 I am trying to install NetBSD v0.8 (or 386 BSD, get the same problem on both systems), but am having one major problem. For some reason my drive isn't being recognized. This is on a 486 Clone system, a Conner 340 Meg (conner model 3304) IDE drive, with 8 megs of memory, a VESA local bus. I have two controllers that I have tried, one is a caching controller that sits on the VESA local bus, and the other is a generic IDE controller (No name on it except Made in Taiwan, the only label says IDE-4B). Both controllers work 100% fine with DOS and windows, but neither are seen by unix, not in probe or anything. Norton says the controllers are on IRQ 14, which the install manual says is correct, and (at least for the caching controller which I can set) the address seems to be 0x1f0. The error I get is: device not configured. I have used fdisk to partition the drive into a 40 Meg DOS partition, and a 300 meg extended partition (haven't formatted this, should I have?). Has anyone had anything similar, am I just being stupid and not doing something? Any help would be appreciated... Also, what is device npx0? It is probed on IRQ 13 at boot time. Couldn't figure this one out, haven't seen it on any system before. Thanks John jtillema@panda.lpl.arizona.edu
