Brandt ) Subject: Need bootblocks that work with Adaptec AHA1542C Summary: Adaptec SCSI Elischer bootblocks AHA1542C Sender: usenet@work1.rhrz.uni-bonn.de (Usenet-Admin) Message-ID: <Jul04.190512.26699@work1.rhrz.uni-bonn.de> Date: 04 Jul 1993 20:53:41 MET Organization: Applied Math, University of Bonn, Germany Lines: 26 Hello all, I had 386bsd 0.1 working on my AHA1542B using the SCSI bootblocks by Julian Elischer [from good ole ref.tfs.com :-)]. Now that I have switched to an AHA1542C the boot blocks just freeze the machine. A recent kernel [compiled for me by a friend (Thanks, Henry!)] works fine when booted from floppy. Could someone please send me binary copies of boot blocks that work with the AHA1542C, i.e. the files /usr/mdec/sdboot and /usr/mdec/bootsd? Uuencoded will be fine. Alternatively, where could I ftp source and/or binaries for the newest boot blocks by Julian? Both the `original' and the SCSI boot blocks in patchkit 0.2 [?] didn't work. It is depressing to have those 750 MB of goodies sitting on my disk without being able to boot the system properly [single user with root on floppy isn't fun, believe me] ... Thanks a lot for any and all help! -- Volker -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bitnet: UNM409@DBNRHRZ1 Volker A.
