Gerasimatos) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: NCR SCSI and NetBSD 1.0 Date: 16 Sep 1994 22:59:00 GMT Organization: Computer Science Undergraduate Association, UC Berkeley Lines: 42 Message-ID: <35d7vk$7fc@agate.berkeley.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: soda.csua.berkeley.edu I using the ASUS SP3-G board (AMD 486/66) and I am trying to use the onboard SCSI host (NCR 53c810) to control a Quantum Empire 1080S. I realize that boot floppies for NetBSD 1.0 are not yet publically available, but a friend who is running 1.0 made me some. After I use the KC-AHA disk to boot, I then use the install disk. My problem, as it seems to me, is that my hard disk is not being recognized. It finds my other devices, and then I get: ncr0 at pci0 bus 0 device 1 ncr0: restart (scsi reset) ncr0 scanning for targets 0...6 ($Revision: 1.1 $0$) scsibus4 ar ncr0 pci0 bus0 device 2: identifier 04848086 not configured pci0 bus0 device 5: identifier 00a81013 not configured Later, in reference to my floppy, I get: fd0: read failed st0 40<abnrml> st1 1<no_am> st2 <no_dam> cyl 41 head 0 sec 13 blkno 1488 skip 0 cylin 41 status 40 fd0: seek failed st0 80 <invld> cyl 1 Finally, after I tell it to use sh, it spits out: newfs: /dev/rsd0a: device not configured All of this, in conjuction with the fact that the drive geometry is not printed (and that I am having problems installing the kernel), makes me think my drive is not being recognized. The NCR driver should be a part of 1.0, right? All my obvious BIOS settings seem fine, and I have my cache set to write-through (I heard of a bug if it is set to write-back). What could be going on here? Any help or advice is appreciated! Dimitrios
