Subject: FreeBSD on AST Bravo 486/66d Wont run
I configured a Segate SCSI-II Hawk drive and an Adaptech 1542CF for a
486 system on a clone PC. It runs great on the clone.
The Adaptech is set to:
IRQ 10
DMA 5
5.0 MB/SEC Speed
I/O Addr: 330
I moved the controller and disk to a AST Bravo 486/66d. When I
boot from the disk I get the standard boot prompt. However, when I
select sd(0,a)/kernel or press return or give the -c option, the SCSI
bus hangs and the screen comes up iht the Adaptec 1542CF setup as though
I had pressed CTLR-A.
I see only a one line entry on the console about
biosdev=80 irq=0, etc.
Any ideas out there on how to get this AST to run FreBSD 2.1.5??
THank's
Ron
