- I've run into a problem reinstalling my old A2090 (NOT A2090a)
- with attached ST251 HD onto my rev 4.3 B2000 after upgrading to OS
- 2.04. If you haven't paniced at the sight of all the rev numbers in
- that sentence, read on. 8) I bought this system new in 88, together
- with the brand new A2090 ST506/SCSI controller. My hddisk driver dates
- from the 1.3 release. I'm using the 1.3 FFS. In a nutshell, the
- binddrivers command works, but hangs the shell that invokes it. This
- makes it impossible to mount the non-autobooting HD from a
- startup-sequence. subsequent mounts of the HD partitions work fine.
- I've included the mountlist entries I'm using. Can someone please
- help?
