I bougth a >1 GB disk from Fujitsu (drive number look at the subject) and have some problems. First I must say that I have an Adaptec 1542B with BIOS 3.20 and I can not get any extended translation mechanism, the disk still hangs during bootup. When I try it untranslated the disk still boots but while beginning fsck I got messages like: aha0:1:0 non-media hardware-failure. (By the way, the disk has id 1, id 0 is a dos disk). Someone told me that without extended translation I can not boot from a drive more than 1 GB. These errors still reside until switch off. The disk sometimes really beeps for 10 seconds. Now I tried to boot FreeBSD from disk 0 and all went ok. But when there is an error during fsck I have to switch off the system so the disk is ok again. Can anyone help me ? Bye, Udo P.S.: I tried different operation modes: scsi-1/scsi-2, asynchron/synchron etc. -- Udo Wolter INTERNET: uwp@cs.tu-berlin.de, wolter@db0tui11.cs.tu-berlin.de BITNET/EARN: WOLTER@DB0TUI11 WWW: http://www.cs.tu-berlin.de:/~uwp/
