The kernel disk seems to load ok, but when I try using the install (file system) disk, I get the following lines, which seem to cause other errors, ending in the lockup of the system: aha0 targ 0 lun 0: <unknownunknowngarbage> SCSI0 direct fixed sd0 at scsibus0sd0: mode sense (4) returned nonsense; using ficticious geometry My system information is as follows: Gateway 2000 486DX2/66 PCI w/ 16 megs of RAM Diamond Viper PCI video card w/ 2 megs VRAM Adaptec 1542C scsi controller Seagate ST3600N scsi HD Toshiba XM3501B external quad-spin scsi cd-rom drive SB AWE32 Colorado Memory Systems Jumbo 250 tape backup U.S. Robotics 28.8 internal modem 3Com 3C509 ethernet card I am using the correct install disk (kcaha) which supposedly has the Adaptec drivers necessary for my system. My controller is set at the proper address of 0x330. I originally thought it might be a problem with the boot sector of my HD, so I low-level formatted it, and the problem still persists. I already contacted netbsd-help@netbsd.org, and they were unwilling or unable to help me. If any of you have ideas, I would greatly appreciate them. Thank you.
