Dear all,
Regarding my previous message of yesterday, i changed my hardware
and made some more testing.
1. Hardware
-----------
Asus p2l97-s with adaptec 7880 and intel piix4 controllers
1x IDE disk (ST36531A - dosn't mater)
1x ATAPI CD-driver (Creative CD 5230E)
1x SCSI disk (DNES-309170W)
256Mb RAM
2. Bios Settings
----------------
With pnpbios enabled
With pnpbios disabled
With IDE as first boot device
With SCSI as first boot device
in all case, boot set to: "CDROM, C, A"
Yesterday, I also tryed booting with floppies without greater
success.
3. FreeBSD 4.6 boot behaviour
-----------------------------
Booting from install disc 1 CDrom.
3.1 BTX reports strange Bios drives (comments are my one):
----------------------------------------------------------
BIOS drive A: is disk 0
BIOS drive B: is disk 1
BIOS drive C: is disk 2 # <--- !!!
BIOS drive C: is disk 3 # <--- !!!
BIOS drive D: is disk 4
Why drive C twice ?
3.2 lsdev output
----------------
Stoping boot process at boot prompt in order to launch lsdev.
Here is the full output of this command:
cd@0xff2c
disk@0xef38
disk0: Bios drive A:
disk0a: FFS
disk0c: FFS
disk1: Bios drive B:
disk2: Bios drive C:

ss:esp=28 4d 09 00 4c 83 03 00 - 10 4d 09 00 84 40 09 00
BTX halted
Any way to workaround this problem ?
Many thanks in advance for your help
Kindest regards

Subject: unable to boot install disc 1 on asus p2l97-s
Dear all,
I started a new FreeBSD 4.6 installation on an ASUS P2L97-s board
with onboard Adaptec 7880 scsi as well as PIIX4 ATA-IDE controlers.
On this system, IDE is only used for ATAPI CD Drive.
Unfortunatly, there is no way to get sysinstall up and running.
When I try to boot with either FreeBSD disc 1 CD, disc 2 CD or
generated boot floppies, boot process hangsup right after having
probed serial and parallel interfaces, whitch seems to indicate
a failure of the ata devices probe.
Please, notice also:
I had the same behaviour after having completly disabled IDE at bios
level.
I had the same behaviour after trying with FreeBSD 4.5 boot CD.
Hmm, finaly I had no problem at all trying to reinstall linux (!)
Furthermore, i tryied to stop boot process at boot loader prompt,
running lsdev in order to see what wendt wrong... the system
crashed gracefully :(
I have absolute no idea about interpreting the output below,
after my signature.
Would someone be nice enough in giving me some tips for resolving
this issue ?
Many thanks in advance
Kindest regards
Bertrand
