Paoletti) Subject: 386BSD: continual reboot cycle w/ SCSI drive Message-ID: <1992Oct15.020417.14934@msuinfo.cl.msu.edu> Originator: paoletti@pacific.cps.msu.edu Sender: news@msuinfo.cl.msu.edu Organization: Dept. of Computer Science, Michigan State University Date: Thu, 15 Oct 92 02:04:17 GMT Lines: 26 I'm trying to create a disktab entry for a Fujitsu 2266S drive. It is translated to 1023 cyl, 32 sec/track and 64 tracks/cyl by my AHA-1542B controller. I was able to create the following disktab entry, disklabel the drive, create the root and user filesystems, copy stuff to them. Doing a 'disklabel -r as0' gives the expected results. My problem now is that I can't boot off of the hard drive -- it just goes into a continual reboot cycle without printing anything. I've seen people complain of this before with IDE drives, but not SCSI, and so never really paid attention to the postings. Here's the disktab entry that I'm using (MS-DOS is taking up cylinders 0-330): fj2266|Fujitsu 2266S: \ :ty=winchester:dt=SCSI:se#512:nt#64:ns#32:nc#1023:rm#3600:\ :pa#65536:oa#677888:ba#8192:fa#1024:ta=4.2BSD: \ :pb#65536:ob#743424:tb=swap: \ :pc#2095104:oc#0: \ :ph#1286144:oh#808960:bh#8192:fh#1024:th=4.2BSD: Thanks, Dave Paoletti :)
