[reason for it deleted] => The BT kernel requires the controller to be configured for IRQ 12. That => is a strange default. The default for the BT445S is 11, the same as => for the 1542. You probably just need to reconfigure the controller. So I redid the switches and the BT kernel recognises it on int 12. Either with or without EISA DMA (switch 2-10) it no longer generates the strayintr 7. But it still doesn't boot after the message 'changing root device to fd0d' So what's going on here. Is there anyway to find out more? Or should I go to one of the FreeBSD lists and discuss it there?
