DUH!!!! also, boot -c doesn't show the driver for the 2940, just the 154x & 152x cards. IRQ is 9 on board, and kernel is looking for IRQ 11 *i think*., I cannot change it on the board, the adaptec bios setup (ctrl-a) won't let me get to the irq field. -Todd On Thu, 19 Sep 1996, Todd Brous wrote: > Date: Thu, 19 Sep 1996 15:42:36 -0400 > From: Todd Brous <toadler@panix.com> > Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc > Subject: Install Prob: 2940 + eisa HD, BSD on scsi??? > > Hey all- > > Question: > We're trying an install on an HP-PC w/ EISA HD ( w/ Win95 on EISA) > and a new Adaptec 2940Ultra SCSI card with a Seagate 1Gig HD.
