Hi,

Anybody had any success running OpenBSD or NetBSD off the onboard
SCSI (NCR 875 fast/wide) on a Compaq Proliant 1500 or similar?  Note
that I am talking about the vanilla mainboard controller, NOT the array
processor.  Well, as far as anything of Compaq's is vanilla anyway ...

Slackware 3.2 and FreeBSD 2.2.2 grok it OK.  OpenBSD 2.1 sees the
PCI bus, but no SCSI.  Any ideas?

Email replies would be appreciated - I'll post a followup summary if it is
warranted.

Thanks,
Craig.
