I'm trying to boot NetBSD from a SCSI disk attached to an Ultrastor 34F
localbus SCSI adapter.  I'm getting different results with different
motherboards, though.  (With a DTK 486DX-33 motherboard, things seem to
work perfectly; with a NICE Mini-EISA or NICE ISA/VESA with
486DX2-66, the system won't boot.)

Is anyone booting from a SCSI drive on an Ultrastor 34F?  I'd like to
hear what motherboard/cpu you're using, and if you had any difficulty
getting the system working.

Maybe NICE motherboards just won't support this configuration.  They
(NICE) claim they've verified that the Ultrastor 34F works with these
motherboards.  (I can't even get DOS to boot -- presumably they would
have noticed that.)

Thanks in advance.

Sandy
