Righty-o, I've finally got a kernel to boot on my MCA box! Yay! Its a rather large "Apricot FTs 486" with the Panther Rev F MB: http://www.mitsubishi-computers.com/insight/en/products/servers/fts/ftsmain.htm It is currently running NT4 (SP5) with all the adapters in it recognised and supported. It is also known to run OS/2 Warp 4, and I once briefly had Solaris 2.4 (x86) on it. Here is what happened while trying to boot FreeBSD... Firstly, the keyboard did not work! It loaded the kernel, and then asked for the mfs disk and said 'press enter to continue' but the keyboard doesn't do anything. The num-lock and caps-locks LEDs do not toggle either. Ok, so I boot using a serial console... yay! I can continue with loading the mfs disk! It loads, then says "booting in n seconds...", I press enter, it starts probing! Yay! Oh, hang on, its hanged :( Hmmm. It hangs while probing npx. Ok... vi src/sys/i386/isa/npx.c ... hmmm, lets bypass that "if ((status & 0xb8ff) == 0)" bit and just return 0 - we'll use the emulator... Tada!!! Well, almost... it doesn't grok the AHA-1640 and no disks are found. I will play with your driver over the next couple of days. In case it helps, here is what is in the machine: Motherboard - 8Mb RAM, com1, lpt1, standard VGA slot 1 - Hypertec HyperPort [3 serial, 1 parallel] port: 2f8 irq 3 [only com2 is enabled] slot 2 - AHA-1640 SCSI Host Adapter port: 330 irq 15 dma 4 rom dc00 slot 3 - Hyperam MC 32/16 [32Mb RAM] EMS window: c000-c3ff slot 4 - 3Com EtherLink/MC port: 300 irq 12 rom c800 slot 5 - Hyperam MC 32/16 [23Mb RAM] EMS window: c400-c7ff slot 6 - BusLogic 32bit BusMaster MCA-to-SCSI Host Adapter (v1.42a) port: 334 irq 14 dma 5 slot 7 - BusLogic...[same as above] port: 234 irq 11 dma 6 slot 8 - BusLogic...[same as above] port: 134 irq 10 dma 7 [there are 11 scsi disks spread across the 4 controllers] And now finally to the nitty-gritty: Here is the output from a successfull boot: [options KBDIO_DEBUG, NPX_DEBUG, DIAGNOSTIC, DEBUG are also in kernel] [start script] Console: serial port BIOS drive A: is disk0 BIOS drive C: is disk1 BIOS drive D: is disk2 FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.7 639/63488kB (jkh@cathair, Tue May 18 03:22:02 GMT 1999) kernel text=0x1289fb data=0x1c478+0x19d5c syms=[0x4+0x1e780+0x4+0x201fb] Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter: Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
