- I don't have an internal GVP, but setting up my external GVP for my A500
- gave me similiar problems. Start up "FaastPrep" again and choose Manual
- Mode. You should get a screen with your 40MB drive listed as SCSI ID 0,
- as you said. Make sure the "Last Drive" and "last LUN" boxes are not
- "checked". Now you should be able to move to ID 1 using the < and >
- arrows. On this screen, make sure the "Last Drive" and "Last LUN" boxes
- are "checked". Someone suggested this in one of the other letters, but
- I'm not sure it was quite clear.
- If this does not solve the problem (it did for me), maybe one of the
- following quotes from the GVP User's guide will help:
- 1. ONly the last SCSI device in the chain should contain the resistor
- packs.... If there are both internal and external SCSI devices, the the
- last *external* SCSI device is considered to be the last device.
- 2. ...GVP removes all terminating resistor packs on hard drives that
- are mounted on our controllers, so removing them is not necessary
-
-
- Again, those are quoted from GVP
- Also, you may want to set the priority of your boot drive to 0, rather
- than the -5 as you noted above. Mine is pri 0, and the partitions are
- pri -10, and they all work just fine.
- Hope this helps
