The >install menu doesn't have anything on it, none of the functions work. I assume that the controller isn't even recognized? Do you have it at the factory address, or do have it specially configured? It should be at 0x330 and irq 11. If you have it at a special address and don't want to change it, you can work around this until you build a custom kernel by using the -c option at the Boot: prompt and setting the parameters for aha0. Use 'help' to see the available commands at the config> prompt. -DG
