On the cable there is a single SCSI disk at ID 0. When I boot off of the FreeBSD 4.4 boot floppies I get the message ahc0: Illegal cable configuration error, which is supposed to be due to having more than one cable hanging off the SCSI controller. Problem is, there is only a single on-board connector, so there is no way for me to change the cabling. Someone in the archives suggested I change the BIOS settings, but I have no idea what to change. FreeBSD hangs after finding the plip0 device, so I cannot install FreeBSD on this machine. Any help would be appreciated. Kees Jan ================================================ You are only young once, but you can stay immature all your life.
