Hi all,

could somebody enlighten me about the use/support of my AHA1740
in ENHANCED mode with *BSD.
I've asked this one over and over again, but got never the final
answer (i.e. a solution).

My system: EISA w/ IDE (boot-partition) and SCSI (usr-part.) disk.
           os is 386bsd-0.1 + pk-0.2.4

My problem: booting NetBSD (AHB-floppy) FreeBSD (AH-floppy) from
            the respective installation floppy (1st disk) gives
            the usual info about recognized devices.
            The one that is never recognized is my AHA1740 con-
            troller in ENHANCED mode and the devices attached to 
            it (disk, cdrom).
            (in standard mode all goes well).

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
Is anybody out there who has a configuration like mine working as
it should?

(The one thing that makes me wonder is that a Linux install floppy
recognizes this AHA1740 in enhanced mode + devices along with all
the other ones that also *BSD finds).

Bye,
Michael.
