I have two ide-drives, and a SCSI on an AHA1505 (without bios) The installation floppy can install on the SCSI, but after much trial and error, I finally got the bootmanager installed. It says: F1 os2 (actually os/2 bootmanager, only sees dos, os2 deleted) F3 dos F5 2. disk When I try F5, I only get "NO ROM BASIC, SYSTEM HALTED!" It probably tries to boot the 2. ide-drive. I guess the bootmanager can't access the AHA1505 without a driver, because the AHA doesn't have a bios. So what now? Should I put a root on the 2. ide (I have an empty partition) If I would move the SCSI to another machine to run unix solely, could I boot from a floppy?
