There are indications that it might : have problems with newer SCSI cards. Using a AHA 1542c, and it reboots not even halfway through the install, not sure if it is my cyls and head settings or what... definitely a problem fer me :) : NetBSD-1.0 is definitely incredibly more robust in every area, : including SCSI and IDE drive support. Hum, I was just told that NetBSD does not support more than 16 meg of RAM with a SCSI controller, is this true with ANY version of NetBSD? (1.0 or whatever). If this is the case I need to know, cause I would be wasting my time installing it on a scsi since I require alot more than 16 meg of ram :) : If so, what alternitive OS is : there that will have the same features as NetBSD? : NetBSD-1.0. Last I heard, it is supposed to be out on the ftp sites : this week or next. Keep watching comp.os.386bsd.announce, and/or : ftp.iastate.edu. Will keep ana eye-ball out. If I do find that the SCSI memory problem is true I will have to wait for a new IDE drive anyway... : If you absolutely can't wait, you could try to dig up a copy of : FreeBSD 1.5.1.1. Never never again :) Thanks for your information, if you can help clear up the memory romour please do :) -- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- wilsonm@dale.hsc.unt.edu 1:130/28@fidonet.org Mike Wilson 817-735-5403 (work) TCOM, Senior Network Tech. 817-220-2000 (BBS) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
