All of this time though I have not been following the SCSI discussions. And YES now I am trying to get the distribution up on a 486/33 with an adaptek 1542b, 16 Mb of ram, AMI BIOS 1.0 206 Mb Winchester Maxtor 7213. It boots from floppy, allows me to write a label, run newfs etc... The problem I am having is that the file system becomes confused shortly after trying to write to the hard drive. I was trying to do a manual install with partitioning. I am using the default dist.fs and fixit.fs. The system panics or locks while trying to do the copy over from the fixit.fs. Not everytime. After a period of time. Like the file system is getting all outta wack. I dug through all of the old news I have archived and found references to other people having these problems, but I couldn't find anything pointing to fixes for this problem. A while back I noted that Julian Elischer posted some MACH SCSI stuff ported to 386BSD. This looks hopeful. Unfortunately I do not have 386BSD up on the IDE system anymore so I can't generate a new kernel. Could someone point me to a fixed kernel or the solution for this problem? If there is one.
