sd0: DMA beyond ISA
(zillions of these lines, in fact). Is there anything
I can do - apart from removing 4MB of the 20MB RAM I have -
to make "DMA beyond ISA" work?
Basically, it's that, hard-wire the memory in your kernel config down
to 16MB (so you don't have to physically remove RAM), or get a SCSI
adapter that uses a real 32-bit bus (PCI, EISA, VLB).
I've looked at the FAQ
but could not find something addressing this.
Have I been blind?
I believe so. I'm pretty sure it's in the FAQ. Did you look at a
recent FAQ?
