Hi,

I would like to add an IDE drive to my 386bsd-box, which is running with
a SCSI drive right now (Adaptec 1542B, quantum LP240S). How do I go
about doing this, and more specifically:

(I have the patchkit 0.2.1 installed with the original SCSI-driver)

- What entry do I make in my CMOS, obviously now there none for the SCSI
drive.

- How do I configure my kernel? Is it enough to add the wd driver. Will
it get recognized automatically?

- Can I use Julian's (?) fdisk program to partition and label the
disk ? (has there been a new release lately, I picked it up quiet a
while ago?).

- Can there be any conflicts with the SCSI-controller and the
IDE-controller?

Plus any questions I forget, which are relevant nonetheless.

Thanks very much in advance.

Marc van Kempen.
