I finally managed to put a fixit.fs for the EISA 1740 controller on a ftp-site
for anonymous ftp. This should enable you to boot on your system and to
install it, create (or get a new kernel) etc.

The boot-image can be found at
	hslrswi.hasler.ascom.ch:pub/386bsd-0.1/fixit.1742a.fs.Z
	The IP-Address is:  139.79.129.1
Just proceed in the same way is you would do with the normal fixit.fs disk, i.e.
copy it to a floppy, boot it, etc.
If you really need a dist.fs for the 174x, please tell me and I will prepare
one. However, other things (like the same for the 1542) have higher priority
because I promised those earlier than the latter.

I hope this helps you and others,

Norbert.

P.S.
I will try to put a dist.fs and fixit.fs for the 1542 SCSI controller at the
same site tomorrow (or maybe, sorry, not earlier than monday).
