I'm not sure where to start with this one. Could be a problem
with the FreeBSD bootblocks or it could be the controller itself.
System: ASUS P2B-S motherboard with onboard Adaptec 7890 SCSI.
FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE, cvsupped about 2 days ago.
Installed using an Adaptec 2940UW, system boots and runs fine.
Switch the disks to the onboard 7890 and I get "Invalid system disk".
Booting the 3.1-RELEASE floppies I can happily mount all
filesystems. I just can't boot off the disks. Remade boot
blocks, reinstalled them, re-disklabeled, no dice.
Plugging the disks back into the 2940 everything still works.
Installing the boot manager, I get the "F1 for BSD, F5 for
other disk" type message, selecting F1 (or F5) then returns
the "Invalid system disk" error. Replacing with a standard
boot sector brings us back to square 1.
Do I have a broken Adaptec BIOS, or is something in the boot
blocks of the FreeBSD slice upsetting the controller? Any
suggestions for debugging?
