- I seem to have run into a rather nasty problem attempting to get
- my BSD system up. I've installed it once before to a smallish MFM hard
- drive with comendable success, however I've recently purchased a SCSI
- card and drive and now want to use them for my system and toss the MFM
- deal to the Salvation Army (or wherever).
- The problem is simple, BSD refuses to acknowledge my SCSI
- adapter. Bloody well skips over it without a second thought. What are
- the necessary parameters to use a SCSI adapter (port address, irq, drq
- etc) and is there any way to change these parameters to work with my
- card. I'm no UNIX guru, and in fact, have decided to learn BSD to get a
- better understanding of this odd OS.

- Thanks much in advance,
