(Daniel Stephens (CSC)) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd Subject: Gargantuan problems with oddball SCSI adapter Message-ID: <1992Nov1.085738.8127@ariel.ec.usf.edu> Date: 1 Nov 92 08:57:38 GMT Sender: news@ariel.ec.usf.edu (News Admin) Organization: Univ. of South Florida, Center for Scientific Computing Lines: 18 I seem to have run into a rather nasty problem attempting to get my BSD system up. I've installed it once before to a smallish MFM hard drive with comendable success, however I've recently purchased a SCSI card and drive and now want to use them for my system and toss the MFM deal to the Salvation Army (or wherever). The problem is simple, BSD refuses to acknowledge my SCSI adapter. Bloody well skips over it without a second thought. What are the necessary parameters to use a SCSI adapter (port address, irq, drq etc) and is there any way to change these parameters to work with my card. I'm no UNIX guru, and in fact, have decided to learn BSD to get a better understanding of this odd OS. Thanks much in advance, Dan Stephens, University -o- South Florida Center for Scientific Computing
