The disk is empty and the client will be using bsdi exclusively. In order to use the ncr controller and to have a large file system (disk is 9 gigs), i had to get the 2.0.1 upgrade (client had 2.0). I was able to install successfully (sort of) with the NCR PCI SCSI and apply the kernel and utility upgrades, but when i was supposed to write the boot blocks, there was no option for writing *NCR* boot blocks. Now, the system cannot boot from the hard drive -- Naturally, with aha boot blocks installed. So where did i go wrong?
