I would appreciate any info. I have 2 controllers in my 386. One is a
MFM with a 72Mb Miniscribe and the second controller is a SCSI
Future Domain 845 with a Quantum 210Mb. The boot drive is the MFM
(MFM has to be the boot drive if we have both MFM and SCSI controller).
I have no problem booting 386bsd from the MFM drive, however it didn't
recognize that I have a second SCSI drive at all. As I would like to
install 
all 386bsd source on the second drive, I would really appreciate any info
or comments.
If I take out the MFM controller and drive, will I be able to install
everything
on the SCSI drive? Giving that the controller is not an Adaptec 1542?
Thank you very much.
