After weeks of effort trying to get FreeBSD 2.2.6 sysinstall to probe my Seagate (aka conner) drive I've found that there seems to be a problem with the sysinstall probing the drive (model number CFS1621A or ST31621A). The the system is as follows: Pentium 166 w/ 32mb ram, awe64 soundcard, hercules stingray 128, Adaptec AHA-1520 scsi controller (running a zip drive) 4.1gig Fujitsu MPA3043AT on primary master 1.6gig Seagate (formerly Conner) ST3121A on primary slave Sony CDU55E 2x CD-ROM on secondary master What seems to happen is that the sysinstall probe will seem to probe the disk(s) during the "probing devices, please wait..." screen and then after about 5 mins either hang (if that drive is connected) or continue. The 2.2.5 sysinstall has no problem and seems to spend less than a second on a the "probing devices, please wait..." screen finding any drive I attach. I've tried putting the drive in master, slave, and alone. Any configuration I've thought of and tried have had the same result. Win95/DOS seems to run fine on the drive. I'm wondering if there's any fix or solution for this and if the problem has been mentioned before. Please respond to kzentner@got.net.
