- I've been baking my brain struggling with this machine:
-
- DGI 486/33
- AMI BIOS (the latest)
- (ASIC Design?) Chipset
- Ultrastor 22CA Caching ESDI EISA Controller.
-
- The systems boots and installs on the hard
- drive just fine, but refuses to boot off of the hard
- drive. It doesn't 'cycle-boot', but just
- sits there and spins the A: driver for eternity.
-
- I have verified that the disklabel is correct (I've
- even made my own disklabel and installed per the
- instructions of article <16tkqqINN3e6@frigate.doc.ic.ac.uk>
- (Diomidis Spinellis), a 386bsd0.0 style install),
-
- Sector mapping on the controller is turned off.
- I've flipped the "Disk Type 47 storage area" switch
- to read "DOS 1KB". I've tweaked every possible
- parameter in the CMOS setup back and forth.
-
- Nothing seems to get it to boot off the hard drive.
-
- Is anyone else using this controller?
-
- Any suggestions?
