If anyone has any suggestions, it'd be much appreciated.
I'm a rank novice at BSD and I'm trying to set this up for a web server. The
machine has an ASUS Pentium XE motherboard with the triton 1 chipset, Pentium
100, 32MB RAM, Buslogic PCI SCSI controller, Conner 1 gigabyte SCSI, 3COMM
3C509 ISA network card and a Toshiba SCSI CD-ROM.
After 9 or 10 hours of the machine turned on, it seems that the hard disk and
controller go bad. While you can still ping it from outside, you can't log in
onto the console or through telnet.
The last screen on it reads... (bt0 being the Buslogic SCSI card)
>bt0: Abort operaion has timed out
>bt0: not taking commands!
>Debugger("bt742a")called
>bt0: Try to abort

And it just hangs from there.
I'd like to order a new SCSI card, but am not certain yet on whether or not
it'll work.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
