I'm trying to install BSD2.1 on the following hardware; pentium166 (ASUS) 256MB of memory BT958 and ultra SCSI (segate 4GB) harddisks SMC 100 NIC Once the machine boot up, the bios detected all the above items and pass the booting process to BSD2.1 bootdisk. The BSD2.1 bootdisk cannot detect the BT958 (but no problem for ncr SCSI II) and failed the installation process. Once again, thanks for any helps :-) -Jin Siong > > Terry Kennedy Operations Manager, Academic Computing > terry@spcvxa.spc.edu St. Peter's College, Jersey City, NJ USA > +1 201 915 9381 (voice) +1 201 435-3662 (FAX) > >
