Hello all...i've been trying to get the above drive (from Pinnacle Micro)
to be usable under freebsd. It's recognized at bootup, but not quite the
way i'd expect - the drive is attributed as having 73 bytes/sector. The
drive has worked fine on my PC running DOS, and on my Macintosh and a
geometry of 512 bytes/sector is reported also). Also, i'm using (or trying
;) 512-bytes/sector media, which seems to be necessary for most unicies...
I had to do some tweaking to get FreeBSD to boot w/ the MO drive powered
on - specifically, i had to disable synchronous transfers and
disconnecting for the MO's SCSI id. With either (or both) of these
enabled, the SCSI controller reports back a bad command (i don't remember
the exact wording) from the MO drive, and wont continue.
here's my bootup info... (the MO drive is sd3)
