After letting SCSI devices settle, I got "impossible mbxi status" and a reboot. I tried "everything" but still had the problem. Tech Support @ Walnut Creek suggested that the SCSI adaptor (Adaptec AHA-1540B) was faulty or I needed a rom upgrade for it. It turns out that I had optimistically set the adaptor's DMA transfer speed to 8 MB/sec (the choices are 8, 6.7, 5.7, 5.0). 5.0 works! But all the others give problems. My config: 486DX2/66 with an i/o bus speed of 33/4=8 MHz Perhaps someone could add this to some Knowledge Database so someone else in my situation will be spared the anguish. --Terry Rowe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
