Oh, yes. A Quantum Grand-Prix ...
Sorry, but there is a one line patch
required to make that drive work.
The patch didn't make it into 2.0.5,
but has been in every SNAP since, and
will be in FreeBSD-2.1, of course.
You ought to be able to install your
system using the floppies found at:
ftp://FreeBSD.Org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-950726-SNAP/floppies/boot.flp
ftp://FreeBSD.Org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-950726-SNAP/floppies/root.flp
Guess they will allow you to install
the rest of the system from the 2.0.5R
CD, though I never actually tried it ...
Then apply the following patch to the file
'/sys/pci/ncr.c' to get a 2.0.5R kernel
source tree that supports the Grand-Prix ...
