Greetings fellow BSDers...
I'm in need of help (or else I'll have to use Linux! =).
First I boot off the kcopy disk. I put in the filesystem disk. It checks
for devices. Finds all of them. After doing something with my HD (Maxtor
SCSI, with BusLogic 445S) it prints out some stuff:
.
.
.
biomask 840 ttymask 1a netmask 1a
changing root device to fd0d
[pause for a split second]
ISA strayintr 7
What does that mean? I guessed it was some IRQ problem so I disabled COM2
which took IRQ 7.
That did nothing except make my modem useless. 7 is also the device
number for my SCSI adaptor. So I changed it to 1 (HD is 0). Nothing...
Thanks for any suggestions!
Sherman
