Hi,
I have a Quantum IDE drive as my primary and a Seagate Hawk
SCSI drive running off an Adaptec AHA 2940UW controller as my secondary
(the drive has a SCSI ID of 0). Each time I install FreeBSD (from the Walnut
Creek CDROM 2.x version) onto the SCSI drive, the system tries to read from
floppy after the reboot and hangs.
I see the message ' Use 2:sd(0,a)/kernel to boot from sd0 when wd0 is
present' when I'm booting off the install floppy - it doesn't pause long
enough for me to type in anything. Is there somewhere I can get an image from
to boot with these parameters? Any help would be appreciated. Please email
me directly at gnazhiyath@csoftnet.com or post to this newsgroup. Thanks in
advance.
