My current Problem with NetBSD0.8 and 0.9 is : They do not work with a (real old) streamer , consistig of a drive and an emulex mt03. It did work on and sun-3 with sunos-4.0.3 and it works also with a dg av200d running dgux-4.3.1 . During boot, the streamer is registered as one. but mt -f /dev/nrst0 status gives "unknown tape drive type (7)" tar cfv /dev/rst0 . works, but messages st0: soft error + st0: ... ignored cummulate, and the tape is not streaming. tar cfv /dev/st0 . works better and streams most time and gives less messages, but I would like to write a tape without hard or soft or any errors. trying to estimate the capacity of the tape with dd if=/dev/rwd1e of=/dev/st0 (does not stream) crashes the system after approx. 5 MByte. My second Problem is: currently, I have installed an adaptec esdi-controller (works fine) and the adaptec 1542b for a third disk and the streamer mentioned above. I would like to boot from sd0, but if the two esdi-disks are set-up in the cmos, the bios will not boot it. Instead, it bootes from the first esdi-disk. If I set the cmos-disks to <none>, netbsd is booted from sd0a, but shortly after wd0 and wd1 disks were registered, the system crashes while attemping to access any of the esdi-drives. So i picked the emulex scsi->esdi converter (md21), which were used formerly in conjunction with the esdi-disks, so i would be able to connect all disks to the scsi-bus. These controllers do not register during boot time. Any suggestions? please mail me, I will post a summary. Juergen. PS. Does anyone have a description of a) jumpers on b) known scsi-commands of Emulex MD21 and MT02 / MT03 ??? -- Juergen Marenda - Fachhochschule - D-56075 Koblenz Hier koennte email: marenda@koblenz.fh-rpl.de Ihre Anzeige or: C=de;A=d400;P=fh-rpl;OU=koblenz;OU=sun;S=marenda stehen !
