Is there a problem with booting Tiny 386BSD on a machine with IDE primary and Adaptec SCSI secondary disk controllers? Here's my configuration: AMI 386/25c w/8MB 16-bit Seagate IDE primary controller 200MB Conner IDE drive & both 1.2 & 1.44MB flops Adaptec 1542B secondary Quantum 100MB SCSI drive (SCSI ID 0) Seagate 350MB SCSI drive (SCSI ID 1) Viper QIC150 streamer (SCSI ID 4) I get the following screen full: 386BSD Release 0.1 by William and Lynne Jolitz.

Have to power down to reset the Adaptec card. No SCSI devices are ever "ping"ed. This configuration works fine with INTERACTIVE UNIX System V/386 v3.0 so hardware is OK and terminated correctly, etc. I have jumpered the Adaptec BIOS off because the ISC driver directly supports the card - does Tiny 386BSD need them? I have also jumpered off the floppy controller part of the 1542B because the IDE card has one and have jumpered up the DMA speed on the 1542B one notch above default to 5.7MB/s. Again, all works fine on ISC 3.0 and MS-DOG. Suggestions or anyone running something similar? - Mike -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Borowiec (N9EUZ) - mikebo@isc.com - mikebo@timesink.chi.il.us INTERACTIVE Systems Corp. - 1901 N.
