Hi all, I'm still having a problem getting sysinstall to recognize an adaptec 2940 and an old Micropolis drive. This is the hardware list at boot: <snip> ahc0: <Adptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter> rev 0x00 int a irq 9 on pci0.15.0 ahc0: aic7800 Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs <snip> Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle changine root device to fd0c rootfs is 2880da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <MICROP 4221-09 1128RQ 28RQ> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15, Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 1955MB (4004792 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 249C) Kbyte compiled in MFS /stand/sysinstsall running as init on vty0 OK. All looks well, FreeBSD has recognized the Adaptec 2940 Controller as well as the Micropolis 2G drive. Now, we enter sysinstall. 1. Select "Novice" - Big warning about fdisk, etc... 2. Here we go! The following is the message from sysinstall No disks found! Please verify that your disk controller is being properly probed at boot time. See the Hardware Guide on the Documentation menu for clues on diagnosing this type of problem. Anyhow, I've looked through the doc menu and can't find anything that address this one. Any ideas? I'd really like to get this machine up and running. Thanks, Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
