- Hello Gregory,

-
- I've been there too. All though on a A2000 with Derringer 030 and GVP Series II
- SCSI.
-
- I discovered that the 0.9.13 release did work, but this release did not have
- C++ support which I needed. All of the 1.2.13plX (up to pl7) releases had the
- SCSI error I got as soon as I tried to install a filesystem. It seems you're
- system has the same problem with IDE.
-
- Eventually I switched to NetBSD 1.1 which works without trouble.
- On my system (25Mhz) it is a bit sluggish, but I think on your system it might
- work just fine.
-
- So, maybe try to install linux 0.9.13 and see if troubles go away or (if you
- have a little more HD space left to spent) use NetBSD 1.1 and see what
- happens...

- I should work. What kind of accelerator board do you have?
