Subject: Installing on Ultrastor 14F SCSI controller

I am trying to install NetBSD-0.8 on a 386/40, 4MB ram, EGA display (old
system), with a 70M ST506 drive, and a SCSI adapter which at the moment
has at select code 2 a 1G Quantum drive and at select code 6 a 210M Maxtor
drive.

When the system boots, during the POST, the SCSI BIOS correctly prints
to the screen info on all the attached SCSI drives.

DOS3.3 can see only two drives at a time.  Either the ST506+1st SCSI,
or both SCSIs when I remove the ST506 adapter.  I believe the card and
the disks are functioning properly.


The INSTALL_NODE file says the Ultrastor 14f controller is a supported
adapter.  cgd has confirmed that the driver is in both kernel-copy boot
floppies.

On booting the kc-aha floppy, I see:
=
=	uha0 reading board settings, dma=5 int=11 id=7
=	uha0 at 0x330-0x337 irq 11 drq 5 on isa
=
and no other messages related to the adapter or the scsi drives.

After answering the install questions, the install attempts to setup the
drive and I see:
=
=	OK!  Here we go...
=
=	labelling disk...disklabel: /dev/rsd0d: Device not configured
=	 done.

I received mail from Theo Deraadt of the netbsd-help mailing list who says:

| None of us have an uha controller, so it is slightly possible that the
| driver is broken at the moment for that controller. I don't know at the
| moment how to help you further, wish I could, sorry.

I would try to use 386BSD, but I can't find any boot floppy that supports
the Ultrastor 14f controller, even though drivers for that controller are
available.

Can anyone be of any help?

Thanks..
