I recently started to play with the Gateway NetBSD v1.1 CD-ROM on my
Amiga system. I tried the boot-CD option and found that the system locks up
trying to query my WangTEK 4mm tape drive. It finds all the other devices
on my SCSI bus correctly but when it gets to the 4mm the access lights on both
the controller and tape drive light up and the process stops there.
I have also tried this with the WangTEK drive disconnected and the boot process
made it all the way to the command line. I will admit to not having searched
the docs on the CD, but does anyone know anything about this old style 4mm
tape drive and NetBSD?
E-mail is preferred. Thanks!!!
