Do you know this trouble?
I use Compaq PROLINEA 5100 (Pentium 100 MHz)
I would install FreeBSD 2.1R , but trouble have happened.
Phenomena
* Free BSD 2.1R Installer doesn't recognize the PCI Card.
( Fast-Wide SCSI Adaptec AHA-2940W )
( Intel Ether Express PRO/100 )
* That Installer can recognize ISA Bus. But That can't recognize
PCI Bus. Recognition progress of PCI Bus is skipped.
* On the other maker's PC/AT macshines, above mentioned installer
recognizes the PCI Card correctly.
* I heard that it is need to Bios change.
I executed SP1362.EXE and up-dated it's BIOS. ( Bios up-date program
made by COMPAQ )
But when I made the
Floppy Disk and executed on the machine ( PROLINEA 5100), one
message came up saying "There are no ROM image on Diskette".
Questions
* Why didn't Free BSD2.1R Installer recognize the PCI Card (Especially
AHA-2940W)?
* Why did above mentioned message come up when I rebooted with the
Floppy Disk after executing SPI1362.EXE?
Thank you.
