- Sorry if this is a FAQ. Is there a problem with booting Tiny 386BSD
- on a machine with IDE primary and Adaptec SCSI secondary disk controllers?
- Here's my configuration:
-
- AMI 386/25c w/8MB
- 16-bit Seagate IDE primary controller
- 200MB Conner IDE drive & both 1.2 & 1.44MB flops
- Adaptec 1542B secondary
- Quantum 100MB SCSI drive (SCSI ID 0)
- Seagate 350MB SCSI drive (SCSI ID 1)
- Viper QIC150 streamer (SCSI ID 4)
-
- I get the following screen full:
- 386BSD Release 0.1 by William and Lynne Jolitz. [0.1.24 07/14/92 19:07]
- Copyright (c) 1989, 1990, 1991 and 1992 William F. Jolitz. All rights reserved
- Based in part on work by the 386BSD User Community and the
- BSD Networking Software, Release 2 by UCB EECS Department.

- The SCSI bus busy light goes on solid and stays that way - system is
- hung hard. Have to power down to reset the Adaptec card. No SCSI devices
- are ever "ping"ed. This configuration works fine with INTERACTIVE UNIX
- System V/386 v3.0 so hardware is OK and terminated correctly, etc.
-
- I have jumpered the Adaptec BIOS off because the ISC driver directly
- supports the card - does Tiny 386BSD need them? I have also jumpered
- off the floppy controller part of the 1542B because the IDE card has one
- and have jumpered up the DMA speed on the 1542B one notch above default
- to 5.7MB/s. Again, all works fine on ISC 3.0 and MS-DOG.
-
- Suggestions or anyone running something similar?
