After I put an Adaptec 1542B into my PC, when booting, I always get the following messages: Drive C: Already Installed Checking for SCSI Target 0 LUN 0 then wait for a couple of minutes, no matter if there is any SCSI device attached to the adaptec or not. Is that normal? Is that too long? Is there any way to shorten it? 2. Now I want to attach a CD-ROM drive and a tape drive onto the adapter. After the machine boots up with 386bsd, do I need to do anything, e.g. mknod, to make the CD-ROM and tape drives available? If so, where can I get some instructions? Thanks in advance!
