[A repeat message.]

I am trying to install NetBSD-0.8 on a 386/40, 4MB ram, EGA display (old
system), and an Ultrastor 14f SCSI adapter with two 210MB drives at
select codes 0 and 1.

When the system boots, during the POST, the SCSI BIOS correctly prints
to the screen info on all the attached SCSI drives.

Linux and DOS 5 will install and run on the drives.


The INSTALL_NOTE file says the Ultrastor 14f controller is a supported
adapter.  cgd has confirmed that the driver is in both kernel-copy boot
floppies.

On booting the kc-aha floppy, I see:
=
=	uha0 reading board settings, dma=5 int=11 id=7
=	uha0 at 0x330-0x337 irq 11 drq 5 on isa
=
and no other messages related to the adapter or the scsi drives.

After answering the install questions, the install attempts to setup the
drive and I see:
=
=	OK!  Here we go...
=
=	labelling disk...disklabel: /dev/rsd0d: Device not configured
=	 done.

I received mail from Theo Deraadt of the netbsd-help mailing list who says:

| None of us have an uha controller, so it is slightly possible that the
| driver is broken at the moment for that controller. I don't know at the
| moment how to help you further, wish I could, sorry.

I would try to use 386BSD, but I can't find any boot floppy that supports
the Ultrastor 14f controller, even though drivers for that controller are
available.

Can anyone be of any help?

Thanks..
