- I added a 2nd hard disk to my 1988 Supra hostadaptor, and it works fine
- under TOS. I set the partitions to type MIX, recompiled the minix kernel
- for 2 hard disks and added the device nodes for the new partitions.
- Minix refuses to recognise the extra diskspace on all counts. The disk
- LED does not light.
-
- I have the new disk on scsi id 1, lun 0. What I suspect is that minix is
- looking for the 2nd disk on scsi id 0, lun 1. As far as I can see there is
- no way to set the disk to be at lun 1 with this hardware (it is an embedded
- SCSI disk). Has anybody got such a setup to work? or do I have to change
- the hardware first? Minix version is 1.5.10.4
-
- 1st disk: scsi0,lun0 partitions C: D: are GEM, E: F: are MIX
- 2nd disk: scsi1,lun0 partitions G: H: are MIX
-
- Maybe I should try #define NR_HD_DRIVES 3, but this is of course stupid to
- access the second disk as if it were the third one. All sensible approaches
- have failed, so its time to be silly. Any other suggestions?
