I am trying to get a NetBSD 0.9 machine working with a SCSI AHA-1542
controller on a MAxtor 1.4 gig drive. So far each file system image I have
tried just reboots the machine at different places...

I have tried the 
	KC-AHA-09.FS
	KC-AHA-09p1.fs (what is this?)

SOmetimes I can get it to boot up, as for the file system disk, but when I
get no farther than the root partion size or near there the machine reboots.

Does NetBSD have problems with SCSI drives? If so, what alternitive OS is
there that will have the same features as NetBSD? I just have to get this
running and do not have time to bang about...

Thanks,
--
