I'm fooling around with FreeBSD/NetBSD and am having a problem trying to  
boot from the install disks. I have a 486DX50 with an IDE drive and a  
BusLogic 542B scsi adapter for tape and CDROM. When I boot from the  
floppies (either Free or Net), the adapter is recognized with the correct  
address, DMA and IRQ, but I then get several iterations of:

cmd fail
abort failed in wait

What gives ? I do not have the ROM enabled - is this a problem. I strolled  
through the FAQ's I have and could not find any help. Thanks
