Dear All,
I have a motherboard with an on-board Adaptec 7880. On the cable there is a
single SCSI disk at ID 0. When I boot off of the FreeBSD 4.4 boot floppies I
get the message ahc0: Illegal cable configuration error, which is supposed
to be due to having more than one cable hanging off the SCSI controller.
Problem is, there is only a single on-board connector, so there is no way
for me to change the cabling.
Someone in the archives suggested I change the BIOS settings, but I have no
idea what to change.
FreeBSD hangs after finding the plip0 device, so I cannot install FreeBSD on
this machine. Any help would be appreciated.
