I have an ultrastore 12f controller that has 2 floppies and an ESDI
hard drive on it.  When I boot the generic bsdi kernel it finds the
floppies no problem, but can't locate the hard drive.  When I boot
a kernel with the correct interrupt for the hard drive, it finds
it, but still can't read the drive correctly.  It can't locate the
bad block table and I get read errors when it tries to find the
bad block table.  Before I buy another controller has anyone
a fix (or a suggestion) for this?  The hard drive is a Seagate
94166.  Both the drive and the crontroller are older.

Thanks
