I also got the patched isa/as.c driver, so that I was able to recreate the kernel as needed. However, I was not satisfied with the disk layout as created by install, and make new boot floppies (dist.fs and fixit.fs) with my recompiled kernel that were able to use the AHA154xA... However, I had not gotten a new verion of stand/as.c and stand/asbootblk.c, so as of now I'm able to install to my harddisk, but not to boot from it. Are there anyone out there that could supply me with uuencoded versions of /usr/mdec/asboot and /usr/mdec/bootas patched to work with the 154xA? And preferrably also the stand/as.c and stand/asbootblk.c files?
