Originator: usenet@kittyhawk.ecn.uoknor.edu Sender: usenet@constellation.ecn.uoknor.edu (Usenet Administrator) Message-ID: <Bz1GHp.16H@constellation.ecn.uoknor.edu> Date: Thu, 10 Dec 1992 10:15:24 GMT Reply-To: ngorelic@speclab.cr.usgs.gov Nntp-Posting-Host: kittyhawk.ecn.uoknor.edu Organization: MercWorks, Denver X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL6] Lines: 29 I have an crippling problem, that hopefully someone else has already had (and solved). I can boot the dist.fs floppy fine. It installs correctly, and I can even boot the hard drive thereafter. What I cannot do however, is access either of the floppies. When I boot of the dist.fs floppy, it says: pc0<color> at 0x60 irq 1 on isa com1 at 0x3f8 irq 4 on isa com2 at 0x2f8 irq 3 on isa --> fd0 drives 0: 1.2M, 1: 1.44M at 0x3f0 irq 6 drq 2 on isa as0 at 0x330 irq 11 drq 5 on isa wt0 at 0x300 irq 5 drq 1 on isa npx0 at 0xf0 irq 13 on isa When I them boot of the hard-drive, the floppies line is missing, and consequently, I cannot access the floppies from within the system. If it makes any difference (and it probably does) I am running on a 300Meg SCSI drive w/Adaptec, AMI Bios, 486DX/33. Any thoughts?
