The problem is the software never sees the drive at all (normally NetBSD will show you the cylinders,heads and sectors at bootup) but I can still get to the install prompts. I tried to enter all the information, but of-course when it gets to the 'formating drive' part it skips it with an error message and continues onto the next step. I am installing a AHA-EISA 2742 controller with a MAXTOR P1-17S (1.7gig) drive. We have 32 meg of ram and the machine is a 486/50 EISA board. I used the kc-aha-*.fs disks, so if anyone knows what disks I need or what procedure I should follow please let me know. -- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- wilsonm@dale.hsc.unt.edu 1:130/28@fidonet.org Mike Wilson 817-735-5403 (work) TCOM, Senior Network Tech. 817-220-2000 (BBS) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
