The system is an Everex STEP 386/33 with a Cyrix DRx2 processor; 16Meg ram; Trantor T130B SCSI host and Seagate 31200 drive. I've tried all kinds of combinations slowing it down, disabling cache, scsi termination variations, etc. but I keep getting "biodone: device not busy" errors and the thing hangs up. BTW, I've done installs successfully with an IDE drive - I decided to try SCSI as an upgrade. DOS/Windows works like a champ (so what else is new?). The 951026SNAP gives me panics with the same error message. Linux installs fine - but I really, really, really would prefer FreeBSD. Any advice? Thanks. Doug Glazar dougg@ti.com
