Belvoir, VA Lines: 34 I am having trouble installing 386bsd-0.1. Here is my machine: PC/AT clone (Unisys Desktop III) 20 MHz 386 w/ 387 20 MB RAM Adaptec AHA1542A rev E SCSI controller Micropolis 1684-7 SCSI disk, 350 MB capacity WD 8003EB ethernet board When I boot the microfloppy 386bsd, here is what I get: pc0<color> at 0x60 irq 1 on isa com1 at 0x3f8 irq 4 on isa com2 at 0x2f8 irq 3 on isa fd0 drives 0: 1.44M at 0x3f0 irq 6 drq 2 on isa as0 at 0x330 irq 11 drq 5 on isa we0 ethernet address 00:00:c0:57:32:1c at 0x280 irq 9 on isa npx0 at 0xf0 irq 13 on isa changing root device to fd0a as0b: controller error 0x16 reading fsbn 0 scsi sense: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 as0b: controller error 0x16 reading fsbn 0 scsi sense: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 And I cannot access the hard disk (install won't work; I get the same controller error message). I tried reducing system memory to 4 MB and I tried another similar Adaptec AHA1542A SCSI controller; all to no avail. SCO Unix and MSDOS can access the hard disk quite well. The disk has been cleaned of all MSDOS partitions using MSDOS version 3.3 fdisk. Any help greatly appreciated. -Mike
