- I managed to retrieve a dist.fs patched to work properly with an Adaptec
- 1542A from ftp.uu.net and installed the system using that. I also got the
- patched isa/as.c driver, so that I was able to recreate the kernel as needed.
- However, I was not satisfied with the disk layout as created by install, and
- make new boot floppies (dist.fs and fixit.fs) with my recompiled kernel that
- were able to use the AHA154xA...
-
- However, I had not gotten a new verion of stand/as.c and stand/asbootblk.c,
- so as of now I'm able to install to my harddisk, but not to boot from it.
-
- Are there anyone out there that could supply me with uuencoded versions of
- /usr/mdec/asboot and /usr/mdec/bootas patched to work with the 154xA? And
- preferrably also the stand/as.c and stand/asbootblk.c files?
-
- Thanks in advance,
