Initially when I tried to boot the system I got up to the point where it initializes the NCR PCI bus controller, then it hung. I now get to the point where it tries to change root to fd0c then it hangs at that point. The output from the boot is: [...] pci0: scanning device 0..15, mechanism=2. chip0 on pci0:0 ncr0 int a irq 11 on pci0:1 reg20: virtual=0xf509e000 physical=0xc0000000 ncr0: restart (scsi reset). ncr0 scanning for targets 0..6 ($Revision: 1.13 $) too many scsi busses, reconfigure the kernel chip1 on pci0:6 pci uses physical addresses from 0xc0000000 to 0xc0001000 changing root device to fd0c at this time it hangs... I've played with most setup options and cannot seem to find the proper ones to change. Any and all suggestions will be most welcome. -- Jeff Finkelstein | "When you have excluded the impossible, Digital Equipment Corporation | whatever remains, however improbable, finkels@alf.dec.com | must be the truth" - Arthur Conan Doyle
