- Hi there...I have just been playing around with 0.1 and have the following
- problem:
-
- All works fine when I use only one drive, but when I try to boot with a
- kernel supporting 2 drives I get a hang after the "npx0 at 0xf0 ...." message
- (I don't see "changing root to fd0a" or anything else). I am trying the
- kernel supporting 2 drives from f.ms.uky.edu (unofficial). I hope I'm doing
- the correct thing to test it...I loaded the mini system onto the 1st HDD
- then read the new 2 drive kernel from the floppy and copied it on top of
- /386bsd. I am in this situation as I don't have enough disk space to load
- the source until I get the second drive going. System config as follows:
-
- 386DX
- WA6-V MFM HDD/FDD Controller with Miniscribe 6085 connected
- CI-1010 Rev A Ver 1.12 IDE Controller with 200Meg Connor connected
-
- I had to use the CI-1010 controller as it's one of the few the allows
- IDE drives to coexist with MFM. It all works fine under DOS. The IDE
- is always (and according to the CI-1010 docs) has to be the second drive.
- Hope some one out there can help, or has had experience with this.
-
- Thanks,
- Greg
