Hello friends,

we tried to instal BSD Unix to computer with the following configuration:
(I am not too familiar with hardware, so I introduce only a few
basic information.)
Pentium 75 MHz
Mainboard PAM-00541  (DTK) with Triton chips
Award Bios
SCSI Hard Disk CFS 2105S  2.1 GB, 5400 RPM  (Conner)
PCI SCSI Card  NCR 53C810    (?DTK)
SCSI CD ROM      ?


Unfortunately the booting stopped without any error message after writing a
few dots to screen.
If we press SHIFT during the booting, then everything is recognized
correctly (eg. CD-ROM) except the hard disk. The system is not able to
recognize hard disk at all.  ?
(If I use DOS, hardware seems to work well.)

Could anybody advice me what to try or what to do or could anybody who has
appropriate experience discuss this trouble with me?

Thank you in advance
Jarek
