On the second 486, it didn't find the drives at boot (but the scsi-utility screen showed blank instead of "no device" at the scsi-id's with disks). If invoked with debug=d800:6, it found the disks, and a verify was possible. But this didn't make the disks usable, as they still weren't found at boot. On the third 486, it worked. This used to have an AVA-1505 and IDE, but now has the 2842A, and boots from IDE. So now the first 486 boots (dos) from a 1542A, and has the fbsd-disks on the AVA-1505. But I still can't understand why the scsi-bus works differently on different boards. Leif Neland leifn@image.dk --- |Fidonet: Leif Neland 2:234/49 |Internet: leifn@image.dk
