What is the likely cause of the problem? drive controller? drive(s)? something else? Hardware: 486/33 MB, OPTI chipset, 16 MB of memory Combined IDE/serial/parallel/game controller (IODE-3290U) First IDE drive: Maxtor LXT213A 816cyl, 16hd, 38sec Second IDE drive: Connor CP30174 903cyl, 8hd, 46sec Wangtek tape on a QIC-02 controller The serial ports, two floppies, tape drive, and numeric coprocessor are all found, but it misses the hard drive(s). It finds pc0<color> at 0x60 irq 1 on isa com1 at 0x3f8 irq 4 on isa com2 at 0x2f8 irq 3 on isa fd0 drives0: 1.2M, 1: 1.44M at 0x3f0 irq6 drq2 on isa wt0 at 0x300 irq 5 drq1 on isa npx0 at 0xf0 irq 15 (or was that 13?) Where's the wd0? Needless to say, install makes a sarcastic comment about wanting to install BSD on my TV. :^) Both drives are configured in BIOS. This system previously ran DOS and a SystemV/386 3.2 version of Unix without a hitch. Any help is greatly appreciated. -- Dan Yergeau He's dead Jim.
