Message-ID: <C5rGGw.BH3@csi.compuserve.com> Organization: CompuServe Incorporated Date: Tue, 20 Apr 1993 02:34:04 GMT Lines: 33 Has anybody been able to 386bsd on a partition on a disk that's greater than 1gb along with another operating system (MSDOS?) I've been trying to install 386bsd based on patchkit 0.2, (I snagged the distribution disks that had a patched kernel installed from agate in unofficial/patch-kit, which is now in patch-kit.old), however, the kernel locks up during the boot: ... fd0 drives 0: 1.2m, 1:1.44m at 0x3f0 irq 6 drq 2 on isa as0as: put byte timed out at 0x330 irq 11 drq 5 on isa npx0 at 0xf0 irq 13 on isa changing root device to fd0a <at this point I'm hung> My hardware (at least what I think is the important part): 486/25 ISA, 12mb ram Adaptec 1542b running v3.20 bios Maxtor P1-17 SCSI disk (1.7gb) I should note that this only happens when I enable the extended translation on the Adaptec SCSI host adapter and reformat the drive. If I disable the spoofing, I am able to boot, but I am unable to create a partition table entry that goes to the end of the drive. Any thoughts how I might get this to work? -- Sam Neely, CompuServe Incorporated +1 614 538 3718 (voice) 5000 Arlington Centre Blvd, Columbus, OH 43220 +1 614 457 0348 (FAX) Electronic Mail: InfoPlex: >CSI:SAM Internet: sam@csi.compuserve.com To err is human, to forgive is against company policy
