Hi netters!
I have a Adaptec Controller runnin with several HD's.
On the first one I want to install 386bsd.
Everything is fine, installation disk installs correctly and
the system comes up from harddisk. After booting I extracted
the binary distribution, everything ok.
Then I wanted to tar the new kernel (with patches and crypt and stuff)
to the harddisk. (I have this kernel running on 8 other machines but
with AT-bus controller not SCSI controller!
When I reboot the system all ends in an infinite reboot.
There is just a short message on the screen which I managed to 
read:
BSD ...
pc0<color> at ...
com1 ..
com2 ..
fd0 ..

npx0 ..
changing root device to as0a
panic: cannot mount root
trap type 12 code = fe050000 eip = fe012056 cs = 0? eflags = 13282 cr2 14  
cpl 480

panic: trap

The operating system is saving a copy of RAM memory to device 1, offset 0
(hit any key to abort): [ amount left to save (MB) ] -- device bad
system rebooting.

Any suggestions?
