I'm running BSD 2.0 and am having problems upgrading to SCSI. The install
works fine, but after loading the software on the drive, it won't boot
from the SCSI hard disk. I'm using  a BusLogic 946C, and have tried 2
different SCSI drives, an IBM and a Quantum. I've also tried it on 
different PC's, with different settings, always the same result. The PC's
will boot from the old IDE drive, and the controller boots another SCSI
drive with BSD installed, just won't boot the new drives.

On a side note, the new system is a Cyrix P166, and it won't boot to the
BSD floppy's, but runs the OS from the old IDE drive....

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
