When trying to boot my machine from install disk, i get the following error

DEBUG: ioctl(3, TIOCCONS, NULL) = 0 (success)

on the 2nd console. The first just stops with cursor at bottom.
Then

sd0(aic0:1:0): timed out

keeps appearing, but only on the second console also !

The controller and disk are identified okay when booting.
The controller is Adaptec AVA 1505/1515 and the hard disk is Quantum 4Gb.

It appears to me that once booted, the disk cannot be found by the
controller, is that right ? Or is the controller not supported ?

What can i do about either ?

Regards, Craig.
