BTW, there are now another problem and I see exactly similar problem posting in the freebsd-scsi list. (message ID <3588F450.4AA54C81@rockwell.cz>, 18 June 1998 ). Unfortunately there's no answer, only one reply marking this problem as known. Ok, enough history: Now machine boots up correctly and shows sysinstall screen. I can do disk partitioning, labeling, newfs'ing without any problem. After these operations some stuff cpio'd to the hard drive root partition from the boot floppy disk, it seems. Install utility shows error: Unable to create a new /etc/fstab file! Manual intervention will be required. Fixit floppy was very helpful at this point and I figured out that etc directory is there. I have no glue how I can avoid this problem, except installing ordinary supported scsi controller and doing make world with cam patches on it.
