I have acquired an Adaptec 1542A SCSI controller to replace the Ultrastor Card
that was in the machine. It works reliably (and interchangeably) with DOS and
the hard drive as installed. Now I want to try to use 386bsd with it. I get
an 'Unrecognized Command (16H)' error, but the sense bytes all come back NULLs.
Specifically, the error looks like this:
....
as0 at 0x330 irq 11 drq 5 on isa
....
as0b: controller error 0x16 reading fsbn 0
scsi sense: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...
as0b: controller error 0x16 reading fsbn 0
scsi sense: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...
I have used the standard default jumpers. Are the controller jumpers
right? What is /dev/as0b? The second hard disk partition? I am booting with
the Tiny 386bsd boot disk, and all of the documentation says this configuration
should work. What did I miss?
